AMTA-Indiana massage therapists raised $145 for the Gleaners Food Bank in Indianapolis, Indiana. Items donated by the AMTA-Indiana Chapter Store, massage therapists and Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins were raffled off at the April 10th meeting.

The money raised will provide food to the hungry in the Indianapolis area. The following is taken from the Gleaners brochure:

Gleaners Food Bank is your community connection between those who want to make a difference in the fight against hunger and those who live the battle each day. A 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit, Gleaners was founded in a 3 1/2 car garage in 1980 by a group of people concerned about the growing problem of hunger in Indianapolis. As Gleaners nears its third decade of providing food to charities that feed the hungry, the food bank has distributed the equivalent of more than 168 million meals in central Indiana. The food bank provides food annually to over 400 Hunger Relief Charities - Emergency pantries, soup kitchens and shelters that provide food and critical grocery products across its 21-county service area.

With an increase in poverty, the number of people who need help continues to spiral upward. Thank you for joining Gleaners to fight against hunger in our community. Please join us to continue to feed the hungry in Indiana... until every bowl is filled.

The Indiana chapter of the AMTA tries to have a positive impact on the areas where we have our meetings, since July of 2008 we have raised $1,347 for local Charities. Thank you to every therapist who helped make this happen.
