February Community Meal Pack
2026-02-14 10:00 - 12:00
More than 47 million Americans are food insecure—including thousands of families right here in Central Indiana. This Valentine’s Day, Saturday, February 14 from 10 a.m.–12 p.m., you can roll up your sleeves and spread the love where it’s needed most. Join Pack Away Hunger for a heart-filling meal packing event as we come together to assemble 15,000 nutritious meals for our neighbors. Give a gift of kindness, connection, and compassion—because nothing says “Happy Valentine’s Day” like helping nourish your community.
This is hands-on service at its best—an energetic assembly line of neighbors, coworkers, families, and friends working shoulder to shoulder for a shared purpose. The meals we’ll create are shelf-stable, heart-healthy, and packed with rice, vegetables, soy, and a vitamin/mineral blend designed to deliver complete nutrition. Think Rice-A-Roni—but better for the body and soul.
Your support matters. A few hours of your time or a small donation can mean food security for someone who might otherwise go hungry. Every $1 donated provides meals, and each volunteer helps turn compassion into action.
This event made possible, in part, by a grant from the Samerian Foundation.

Uproar Conservation Challenge
2026-03-16 09:00 - 2026-04-04 17:00
Nearly 50,000 species face extinction due to climate change, habitat loss and overexploitation.
The threat is real. The timeline is urgent. But together, we can act.
The Uproar Conservation Challenge is a new initiative from the Indianapolis Zoo designed to spark curiosity, inspire learning and mobilize action for the planet’s most vulnerable species. In partnership with conservationists around the world, the Zoo has identified 64 at-risk animals, plants and fungi—many lesser-known, yet critically important to the health of their ecosystems and the planet.
For three weeks, the public is invited to make their voices heard in an online, head-to-head voting challenge, helping species advance round by round toward a single champion. Through this initiative, the Zoo will grant more than $50,000 in conservation funding, supporting conservationists and their efforts behind all 64 species represented. No species leaves empty-handed.
One species will rise above the rest and be crowned the Uproar champion, earning a $10,000 grand prize directed to the Species Specialist Group working to safeguard its future.
Voting begins Monday, March 16 at https://www.indianapoliszoo.com/uproar-conservation-challenge/. Every vote fuels conservation.
The challenge will culminate on Saturday, April 4 at a Celebration for Conservation event on Indianapolis Zoo Colts Plaza, with music, games, local sports mascots and a live announcement as the final votes are counted and the champion is revealed.
