A Christmas of Hope: Empowering Marion County’s Families & Foster Youth

Join us for a powerful, community-wide Christmas Distribution designed to bring hope, dignity, and holiday joy to families throughout the Marion County DCS network.

This no-cost collaborative event supports families in need and vulnerable households who deserve extra care this season.

People wearing Christmas hats and red shirts volunteering at a food bank organizing canned goods, bottles of oil, and other donations for distribution.

“The holiday season is often when I feel the most alone. As a single mom and former foster kid, having the weight of providing groceries and gifts for my family would mean everything.”

  • 1,000 boxes of groceries

This evening is designed to support families with both practical needs and holiday cheer, at absolutely no cost.

Whether you are a family in need of a blessing or a community looking to serve the families of Indianapolis this Christmas, you are welcome.
