Assistance League of Indianapolis volunteers transform lives of children and adults through community programs.
Serving Our Community:
Economically challenged Indianapolis students receive new school apparel, supplies, and shoes through the Operation School Bell® program. Our goal this year is to provide 3,200 students with apparel and 2,100 with shoes. In addition, the Beyond the Bell division provides additional clothing items to school social workers to have on-hand as needs arise.
Assault Survivor Kits and undergarments are delivered to hospitals and agencies in Central Indiana to assist victims of assault.
Assistance League of Indianapolis Bears are delivered to eight area hospice, hospital, and trauma centers.
Assistance League of Indianapolis Friends socialize with seniors at North Capitol Rehabilitation and Nursing Home and individuals with disabilities at Joy’s House.
Our Literacy Initiative is in its third year as a trial program for first graders in partnership with the Metropolitan School District of Washington Township.
Leadership:
We are a completely volunteer run organization with no paid staff. We are a chapter of National Assistance League®.
