Consumer donations drive egg drive

INDIANAPOLIS — In its first four weeks, HATCH — an initiative by Kroger Co. and Elanco Animal Health to provide eggs to undernourished residents — has served 5,250 central Indiana families.

Those families received a dozen eggs, meaning more than 63,000 eggs have been donated.

The program continues through June 20. HATCH will provide one egg to a central Indiana food bank for each dozen of Kroger brand medium eggs purchased at central Indiana Kroger stores.

The program is a community partnership among The Kroger Co., Rose Acres Farms, Elanco, Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana and Midwest Food Bank.

In the United States, one in five residents doesn’t have access to enough protein and other nutrients to meet his or her body’s needs.

HATCH was formed to give access to those people.
