Understanding the Bigger Picture

Nutrition Secure Indy brings families, community organizations, industry partners, and researchers together around a shared question: how can consistent access to nutritious food support long-term family wellbeing?

The pilot is designed to help build a stronger understanding of that question while creating a model that can inform future communities.

250 local families participating in the pilot
1 Year of supplemental grocery box support
17 Years reported life expectancy gap across Marion County communities

Research in Progress

In partnership with Purdue University, the pilot is examining areas including dietary habits, mental health and sleep, and baseline trends related to hypertension and A1C.

This research is ongoing. Nutrition Secure Indy will share verified findings as they become available, without drawing conclusions before the study is complete.

Family Voices

Participating families are helping shape the Nutrition Secure Indy experience through their perspectives, routines, recipes, and ideas. These stories reflect the people at the center of the program—not simply as recipients, but as active participants helping inform what comes next.
