Atlanta-based record label Quality Control Music and the recently-formed Betty Brooks Foundation have partnered with Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) and Growing Places Indy to host the first Grocery Giveback on March 15 to combat food insecurity in Indianapolis.

ā€œBeing born and raised in Indianapolis, Iā€™ve seen firsthand the resilience and strength of our Indy Community,ā€ said Kevin ā€œCoach Kā€ Lee, chief operating officer of Qualit Control Music. Lee is a recent IPS Hall of Fame Awards inductee. ā€œThis year, Iā€™ve also seen the many hardships that these families have faced, which is why now more than ever, itā€™s important for us to continue working to alleviate food insecurity and support our local communities ā€” a purpose instilled in me at a very young age by my grandmother, Betty Brooks.ā€

At the pop-up grocery store, up to 250 families can get fresh produce, meat and seafood, eggs, milk and bread. For everyoneā€™s safety, social distancing will be required. You must be pre-registered to attend. To register, click here.

ā€œThrough this partnership, we are excited to announce the formation of The Betty Brooks Foundation in memory of our late grandmother, Betty Marlene Brooks,ā€ said Victoria Beaty, executive director of Growing Places Indy. ā€œOur grandmother believed in giving back to her community, and we will continue her spirit of giving through the Betty Brooks Foundation.ā€

The Grocery Giveback will run from noon to 2 p.m. May 15 at Growing Places Indy, 727 N. Oriental Street.
