A consortium of groups including the Indiana Department of Homeland Security is sending tens of thousands of pre-packaged meals and other supplies.
Thrive360 Executive Director Jill Madinger says her group is sending 57,000 pre-packaged meals on eight pallets. She says the main staple is a dehydrated soy-rice casserole.
“It just really makes us feel good to know that through Hoosier donations and Hoosier hands, that actually packaged these meals, that we’re able to help,” Madinger says.
Midwest Food Bank is taking bottled water, anti-bacterial wipes and toilet paper, among other items. Madinger says they're part of a three-semi convoy that will head out Friday.
