Buckingham Foundation Partners with George Buck Elementary School and Gleaners Food Bank

Buckingham Foundation’s partnering in the fight against hunger thanks to Gleaners Food Bank! During the 2018-2019 school year, Gleaners Food Bank will support and distribute nutrient-dense food to 55 School-Based Pantry locations, including George Buck Elementary School.

“To have a company like Buckingham ask us, 'What can we do to help?' is music to our ears. During Buckingham’s service day they made over 200 breakfast burritos, filtered over 1000 items of clothing and organized our house top to bottom!”

Mike Elliott
Director of Involvement, Outreach Inc.

"At Gleaners, we love working with enthusiastic and excited volunteers like Buckingham! In just a few short hours, Buckingham employees processed enough food to provide over 4,800 meals to hungry Hoosiers."

"Buckingham’s commitment to Indy is apparent throughout our city. We are proud to be a recipient of their generous support through volunteers at Indy Urban Acres, and a contribution to making the Downtown Canal Playspace become a reality!"

"Buckingham Foundation didn’t just support our conference, they became some of our most enthusiastic participants! They helped us inspire attendees and build great connections in the Indy community and beyond."

“As experts in affordable housing, Buckingham Foundation clearly understands the challenges and complexity of working with our community’s most vulnerable: homeless families.”
