God's Grill Feeds Hungry in Evansville, Indiana
A member of the Indiana Bar Association and Kentucky Bar Association, attorney Michael Meyer manages a private law practice in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Maintaining ties to Indiana, attorney Michael Meyer supports the God’s Grill food outreach program in Evansville.
Nearly one-third of Indiana’s residents who are food insecure don’t qualify for federal nutrition benefits, according to a Map the Meal Gap report from Feeding America. Often, hungry Indiana residents must turn to food banks, churches, and other charity organizations to find meals.
A group of Evansville-based good Samaritans are helping to fill that meal gap with a project known as God’s Grill. Rotating around different locations in Evansville each month, God’s Grill serves fresh grilled meals to anyone who asks for one. Doing this work for several years, God’s Grill group members say they enjoy providing the free meal service to show their community the good in society and to push back on the notion that “there’s no such thing as a free lunch.” The God’s Grill group is welcoming to new members who wish to join their efforts.
