INDIANAPOLIS– The Indy Fuel announced on Thursday a multi-year partnership with Fresh Thyme Market, a Midwest-based, better-for-you grocer committed to fostering healthy communities. As part of the agreement, Fresh Thyme Market has been named the ‘Official Healthy Grocer of the Indy Fuel.’

"The Indy Fuel and Fresh Thyme Market both have a deep-rooted commitment to serving our community and helping those who need it most," said Larry McQueary, President of the Indy Fuel. "We are excited to come together in our efforts to fight food insecurity, promote healthy lifestyles, and make an even greater impact by serving the communities in our region.” 

As the Indy Fuel’s Official Healthy Grocer partner, Fresh Thyme Market will partner with the team on various community-related nutrition and hunger programs throughout the year. These efforts include Fueling the End to Hunger, a season-long campaign encouraging fans to join the fight against food insecurity through digital donations at games. 

Fueling the End to Hunger will also be supported through player appearances and joint fundraising efforts to benefit Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana. Additional involvement will include a variety of in-venue branding and activations that will offer fans a chance to engage with Fresh Thyme Market in meaningful ways that celebrate a shared purpose. 

“We’re thrilled to partner with the Indy Fuel and extend our commitment to quality, experience and community beyond our stores,” said Rebecca Stephens, Local Program Manager at Fresh Thyme Market. “This is an exciting way for us to support local families while engaging with fans across Central Indiana.”
