Local philanthropist Jules Graber-Nance, age 5, raised money on Tuesday, June 29, for Hoosier Hills Food Bank by opening a fruit stand on the 500 block of East University Street.

Supervised by his mother, Kate Graber, Jules raised $20 for the organization, which distributes food for the hungry across south-central Indiana.

“Our neighborhood is so lovely,” says Kate. “His customers included our immediate neighbors, kids, and college students.”
