Every Pacers 3-pointer puts eggs on the table for Hoosier families

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers just gave fans another reason to cheer for every long-range shot.

Through a new partnership called Drive & Dish, the team is partnering with Kroger, MPS Egg Farms and HATCH for Hunger to donate three cases of eggs — each containing 540 eggs — for each 3-pointer the team scores.

The goal is to deliver over 100,000 eggs to families in need.

“MPS Egg Farms is grateful to be part of this effort with the Pacers, Kroger and HATCH for Hunger,” said Sam Krouse, MPS Egg Farms CEO.

“By donating three cases of eggs for every 3-pointer the rest of the season, this will mean thousands of nutritious eggs going directly to families facing hunger — turning on-court success into real impact across our communities.”

Distribution of the eggs will be supported by HATCH for Hunger, a nutrition-focused nonprofit that works to close the protein gap by connecting producers, food banks and donors and managing the logistics required to deliver protein-rich food where it’s needed most.

“This initiative reflects what’s possible when communities work together,” said Daniel Leckie, CEO of HATCH for Hunger.

“Through collaboration across the food system, we’re able to move nutritious food, like eggs, directly into food banks and onto family tables. We’re grateful to stand alongside Coach Carlisle, the Pacers, Kroger and MPS Egg Farms to support Drive & Dish.”
