Founded in 1988, the IHC is celebrating 30 years as the only state-wide anti-hunger advocacy organization!

SNAP Outreach


The IHC SNAP Outreach and Enrollment team provides assistance with SNAP and Medical assistance applications and screens those potentially available for screenings in English and Spanish.

Summer food service program



The Summer Food Service Program is a federally funded program designed to fill the gap between school years and ensure kids have access to healthy food during the summer.



The program is free to anyone 18 years of age and younger, and to anyone with a disability 21 years of age and younger.
