Our Values
Values That Shape How We Serve
What We Do
Children shouldn’t have to worry about their next meal. Make Room delivers food assistance programs and essential support that respond quickly and meet real needs.
How We Support Children and Families
Food Assistance Programs
We provide meals, supplemental groceries, and consistent food support, especially during the summer months when school is out.
Immediate Food Packs
Through trusted partnerships with local schools, we provide ready-to-go food packs for children facing urgent needs, helping bridge the gap until longer-term support is in place.
Immediate Needs Support
We respond quickly to meet immediate needs that affect a child’s well-being.
School Partnerships
We work closely with local schools that identify needs and refer families so support can reach children quickly.
Community Partnerships
We partner with churches and local organizations to coordinate support, fill gaps, and reach more children and families.
How We Work
When a need is identified, we respond. Schools refer families, and we coordinate with our network of partners to ensure support reaches children quickly.
Together, we gather resources, organize support, and serve children and families in thoughtful, personal ways. Every step is rooted in dignity, care, and compassion, so support reaches those who need it without delay.
I saw families take a deep breath when they received groceries. Easing just one burden for the week goes a lot farther than any of us see.
Our Story
What started as a small effort to provide summer meals has grown into a community-centered nonprofit serving children and families across Kosciusko County. Today, we continue to grow through strong partnerships and a shared commitment to ensuring every child has enough.
Make Room began when we recognized a gap in food access during the summer months. When school was out, many children who relied on school meals were left without consistent food. We saw the need and chose to respond.
Real Impact. Real Children. Real Change.
What Making Room Looks Like
Food security is not just about meals. It is about dignity, stability, and belonging. When you give, volunteer, or partner with Make Room, you become part of a community that refuses to let children fall through the cracks.
