Compiled by the Gleaners Food Bank Wiki editorial team · First published · Revised

Summary: Start with gleaners.org and the official hours page. The Indianapolis drive-thru pantry is open four published days. Partner pantries, mobile routes and referral-based Gleaners2Go are additional official channels. Confirm details with the organization.

A note on independence: Gleaners.wiki is an independent reference compiled from public records, government and evaluator publications, and the organization’s own pages. It is not the official website of Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, and statements the organization makes about itself are attributed to it. Hours, programs and financial figures can change; confirm services with Gleaners at (317) 925-0191 and confirm tax status from IRS or evaluator pages. This is general information, not legal, tax or benefits advice. See the editorial standards.

Where should a neighbor start?

The official site is the place to start: gleaners.org, the contact and Find Help tools, and the hours page for weather closings.[1][2] This wiki can explain the published channels but cannot check a person in or reserve a pantry slot. Phone: (317) 925-0191.

The drive-thru pantry next to the warehouse is described as open four days a week.[3][1] Mobile pantries reach communities farther from partners.[3] Network partner pantries, kitchens and shelters are the front door in many counties.[4] Gleaners2Go is described as requiring a referral from partner program sites.[3]

What eligibility rules are published here?

The official pages reviewed for this edition emphasize access and dignity and do not, in those extracts, publish a single income cutoff that this wiki can safely reprint as a universal rule.[3] Partner sites may have their own procedures. This wiki will not invent an eligibility formula. Neighbors should ask Gleaners or the partner site they plan to visit.

What else can sit beside a food box?

SNAP application assistance and the Family Resource Center partners are described as ways to connect to federal nutrition benefits, Medicaid, utility relief and related help.[3][5] Those services do not replace USDA SNAP rules; they are application help.[6] See SNAP and public benefits. Volunteers and donors use different official paths; this page is written for people seeking food.

Questions often asked

What are the pantry days?

Tuesday and Wednesday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursday 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to noon, unless a weather or operational notice says otherwise.

Can this wiki sign me up for Gleaners2Go?

No. The official description says neighbors need a referral from partner program sites. Use gleaners.org.
