VALPARAISO, Ind. (WLS) -- Five days a week, volunteers and staff at the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana are making it easier for their neighbors to get access to free and nutritious food, all from the comfort of their car. "People are able to keep their dignity, they're staying in their car, they're not feeling like they're less than but two, you're also mitigating the transportation barrier," said Victor Garcia, president and CEO of the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana. The food bank's Mobile Market Program travels to specific communities in Lake and Porter counties facing food insecurity.
