Products

McLane Hunger Solutions likes to think of itself as a "One stop shop" for food banks and other hunger relief organizations. We also understand that many HRO's do not have the funds or the capacity to purchase straight truckloads of product. That is why McLane Hunger Solution offers the most popular food bank products in strategically located warehouses in Houston, TX, and Indianapolis, IN. We give our customers the ability to mix and match these products on a single truck. Not only does this allow them to offer a variety of staple food items to their agencies, the savings on freight allows them to do so at very competitive prices.

'Tis the holiday drive season and Feed-the-Need went Speed-the-Feed with a friendly competition between 6 local companies hosted at Crossroads Community Church in Fishers, Indiana! That's not it, the set-up was similar to that of the Iron Chef where all participants had to rise above the chaos and share supplies from the pile of products placed in the center of the room. After a lot of nail-biting exciting moments, Orchard Software won the Feed-the-Speed holiday drive! The amazing participants together packed 250 boxes. All proceeds went to the Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County for kids on Free and Reduced Lunch to take home over Christmas break. #community #fooddrive #feedtheneed #friendlycompetition #holidayspirit #makeadifference
