Neighborhood Food Champions Named In Indianapolis
A local program that aims to increase community involved solutions to address food insecurity was launched this week.
The 2021 Neighborhood Food Champions chosen for the program will receive training and mentorship to develop a food access project. The proposals from 15 recipients include gardens, pantries and farming initiatives. Participants will receive $2,000 to start their projects.
This year’s program is broken up into two parts and includes four Neighborhood Food Builders, participants who have previous experience in the food system.
The effort to strengthen local food systems with targeted neighborhood solutions started in 2017. The Indianapolis City-County Council recently increased the program’s funding to $70,000.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) The federal government is investigating the death of a Florida man, Dr. Gregory Michael, who died after getting the Pfizer vaccine, according to a Facebook post by his wife, Heidi Neckelmann.
The 56-year old doctor’s cause of death was attributed to a rare side effect seen in a handful of people after getting this vaccination. It’s called thrombocytopenia and is characterized by excessive internal bleeding caused by low platelet counts. At this point, there are no reported findings to show a link between the death and the vaccine, but Pfizer is aware of the situation.
