Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and his PeyBack Foundation joined forces with Marsh Supermarkets to provide meals for 600 needy families in Indianapolis. The program, "Taking Care of Those in Need," was held at Riverside Park on November 23.

Each recipient was treated to a bag full of groceries that included a ham, corn, potatoes, rolls, green beans, macaroni and cheese, pudding and juice. PeyBack Foundation volunteers along with Vice President Ashley Manning greeted each car as they arrived at the park, filling each car with the groceries. The Foundation selected the families through various community agencies and schools across the city.

"We wanted to do something this year that had a huge impact on families," Manning said. "Thanksgiving was always a special day for me growing up and I wanted each child to have a meal with their family. I appreciate the support of Marsh in making this happen."

The PeyBack Foundation would like to thank the countless volunteers who helped bag the groceries and distribute them to the families.
