Volunteer Center

Beacon of Hope Crisis Center is a Christ-centered organization empowering victims of domestic violence and sexual assault to become self-sufficient by providing safety, education, and support. Our vision is for everyone to live free from the grip of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Our Mission is "Helping Homeless Families Help Themselves." Holy Family Shelter, a program of Catholic Charities Indianapolis, was the first emergency shelter specifically for homeless families in Indianapolis. Holy Family Shelter has the capacity to house up to 22 families on any given night. Depending on family size, there are 55-85 individuals living at the shelter every night. This is their "home" while they are with us and we take this responsibility to heart. We work diligently to provide food, shelter, basic material needs and a safe place for families in crisis to begin to heal. Our case managers provide comprehensive services to assist families in setting goals & priorities, obtaining life skills such as budgeting, communication skills, parenting, stress management and more as families begin their journey to permanent housing.

ICADV is committed to the elimination of domestic violence through providing public awareness, education, training, influencing public policy and promoting availability of comprehensive resources.

The Salvation Army is an international organization which works to provide safety and resources for those in need. With a variety of services provided around Indianapolis, we strive to spread God's love by meeting human needs without discrimination.

The Salvation Army; an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet the human needs in His name without discrimination.

We aim toward the enhancement of the lives of central Indiana's most vulnerable and disenfranchised residents-youth involved in family crisis. We provide a uniquely warm and welcoming shelter home, transitional living programs, home-based and family-centered counseling, youth support groups, a crisis hot line, and community outreach and education. Stopover especially embraces those youth excluded from traditional social services systems, and, in accord with our grassroots and community-based origins, addresses each client as an individual with unique strengths and needs.

We are a unique, nonprofit agency providing counseling, safe shelter, and education for women and children who are survivors of domestic violence and abuse. Through outreach and consultation, we also seek to educate the community about the issue of domestic violence and its impact on all our lives.

United Way of Central Indiana fights for the education, financial stability, health and basic needs of everyone in our community.
