A Community Effort to Scare Away Hunger at Fishers Boo Bash
This Halloween season, Fishers residents are invited to join a united mission to end hunger in our community through Trick or Eat, a food collection and hunger awareness event held in partnership with the Fishers Parks Department’s Boo Bash on Saturday, October 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater.
Trick or Eat is a collaborative initiative spearheaded by the Delaware Township Trustee’s Office in partnership with Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank and five local Fishers food pantries, including:
- Delaware Township Food Pantry
- Fall Creek Township Trustee Food Pantry
- St. Louis de Montfort Sally Burton Food Pantry
- Fishers United Methodist “Come to Me” Food Pantry
- Al Huda Pantry
Together, these pantries are working toward a shared goal: to eliminate hunger in Fishers and the surrounding community.
How to Get Involved
All Boo Bash attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate during the event. In addition, residents who cannot attend in person can still contribute through:
- Amazon and Walmart Wishlists
- Cash donations at the Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank website
- Donation bins at Hamilton East Public Library Fishers branch, Fishers YMCA, Citizens Bank or Fishers Parks Department.
All food and monetary donations will be evenly distributed among the five participating pantries, ensuring support reaches those who need it most across the community.
Educating the Next Generation
As part of the effort to increase awareness about hunger, the Fishers Health Department is providing educational materials to school children throughout the community, highlighting the issue of food insecurity and how families can make a difference.
This important community initiative would not be possible without the generous support of local sponsors:
- Citizens State Bank
- Hamilton County Community Foundation
- Sharp Printing
- Handel’s Ice Cream
- Java House
Their commitment to the cause of food security is helping to make a lasting difference in the lives of families across Fishers.
“This is more than a food drive — it’s a united stand against hunger in Fishers,” says representatives from the partner organizations. “Whether it’s one can of soup or a full grocery bag, every donation helps feed a neighbor in need.”
