Fishers’ 2026 MLK Jr. Day celebration offers residents ways to give back and celebrate the message of kindness from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. With our local food pantries experiencing an increase in demand and a decrease in supply, the City of Fishers is holding a community-wide food drive on Monday, January 19.
Last year, our incredible community donated 20,000 lbs of food. Let’s get in the spirit of service and donate even more this year!
