Streets to Home Indy
St. Luke’s is taking part in a powerful community effort called STREETS TO HOME INDY. This bold partnership—between the City of Indianapolis, the Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention (CHIP), and faith, corporate, and philanthropic partners—seeks to end chronic homelessness by providing permanent housing and support services for 350 of our most vulnerable neighbors. The faith community has pledged to raise $270,000. We are proud to announce that St. Luke’s doubled our original goal by raising $60,000 towards these efforts!
Our next project is to put together Move-In kits for our neighbors who will be moving into these apartments! Each move-in kit costs approximately $200. If that seems like a lot for one person to provide, it also makes a great project for small groups, kids' classes, families, or groups of friends to do together.
SIGN UP HERE to provide a kit and receive details about the items to include. Contact Susan Peters for more information.
Here is a sample list of items we are providing:
Laundry basket, pots and pans, dishware, cups, silverware, dishcloths and sponges, kitchen towels, potholders, cookie sheet, food storage containers, can opener, cooking utensils, shower curtain, bathroom rug, bath towels, washcloths, pillows, sheets, blankets, trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry soap, cleaning solution, broom/dustpan, mop, bucket, and toiletries.
