News 8’s Kyla Russell emcees Food Fight to neighborhood support initiatives

Westminster’s Food Fight fundraiser

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Westminster Neighborhood Services is making sure people the near east side has the resources to build successful futures.

On Friday night, the group had its biggest fundraiser event, the Food Fight, modeled after the reality TV cookie show “Chopped.” Organizers say it’s a food competition pitting different high schools’ culnary programs against each other for a good cause.

All the money donated will go to support the Westminster’s core programs and services. The group’s mission, according to its website, is to provide education support, access to basic needs, and community connections to empower neighbors and strengthen youth and families on the Near Eastside of Indianapolis.

News 8’s Kyla Russell was the emcee for the event.
