Join us Tuesday for a powerful and thought-provoking program with Dave Miner, a retired executive from Eli Lilly and a passionate advocate for ending hunger in Indiana.

Dave is the producer of two impactful documentaries, The Working Hungry and Food, Insecure, which shine a light on the harsh but often hidden truth: more than 700,000 Hoosiers – many holding one or more jobs – face food insecurity. These films not only debunk persistent myths about hunger, but also offer practical and hopeful pathways forward.

With a BS and Ph.D. in Chemistry, Dave spent 28 years at Eli Lilly and Company, concluding his career as a senior executive at Elanco. But for the past 17 years, he has dedicated himself as a full-time volunteer, providing leadership to numerous organizations focused on ending hunger.
