Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana is saddened to hear of the loss of Jim Morris, who was a beloved civic servant in central Indiana and a worldwide leader in the fight against hunger. We are deeply grateful for Jim's support in relieving hunger over the years. We especially remember these words: “If there is a theme that unites humanity, it is the notion of being generous, caring, and giving; opening our arms to be certain that no one is hungry, especially children,” Morris said. Our full statement: https://lnkd.in/g8tAQpeB
