English Ivy\u2019s Has Partnered With Indiana Youth Group (IYG) For the 2023 Food Drive!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana Youth Group (IYG) is a non-profit organization that helps empower members of the LGBTQIA+ community to gain confidence, express themselves authentically, and form meaningful relationships. Their organization is a safe haven that embraces inclusivity and fosters restorative practices for all individuals. And for the past 10+ years, they have expanded their creed to help Indiana’s youth by providing food and other resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they have done this food drive for quite some time, right now, they need your help to continue their mission. With the past and current economic pitfalls affecting so many families, donations are more important than ever before. That\u2019s why Indiana Youth Group (IYG) is hosting a food drive to collect as many nonperishable or canned goods as possible. By donating these items, you can make sure Indiana\u2019s children get the nourishment they need while helping IYG reach its goals of providing food security and access to resources for Indiana’s youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
