The facility was founded in 2016 with no budget and a bold vision to create a faith-fueled journey to heal and impart hope to women survivors of sex trafficking. Because of the generosity of local churches, groups, and individuals the facility has served over 800 women in the healing and aftercare of their trauma. The women have access to residential living, art therapy, vocational skills, canine training, prayer groups and church services, and so much more. Open to the public are a wonderful boutique and coffee shop, hair salon, and a barn rental venue for weddings, all supporting the center. Profits support their mission to provide a safe space to practice vocational skills for gainful employment. Short term and transitional housing programs are available based on needs of the women. There is a weekly food pantry distribution for the community. Volunteers services needed are in the areas of chefs, cleaning, drivers, maintenance for buildings and grounds, electricians, plumbers, painters, outdoor garden and greenhouse, etc. To inquire email : volunteers@hopecenterindy.org or phone 317-752-1500. Our group was extremely impressed with the facility, the staff, and the programming offered. There are many ways to contribute including personal hygiene products, books, clothing, and monetary donations.

Regardless the situation, Resources of Hope goes above and beyond to help the children and families caring for them make life a little easier! "Resources of Hope stands with dedicated caregivers, providing unwavering support and essential resources to youth in foster and kinship care throughout Indiana." My brother was murdered in June 2023 and I found myself caring for my disabled 5yr old niece. Resources of Hope helped me tremendously with clothes, shoes, toys, and pull ups so it would not be a burdensome adjustment to my niece or myself. I am forever grateful to them! I would recommend them to anyone in foster care or kinship care. Not only are they amazing, they do not make you feel judged!

I have no clue where my old review went, but the one star review on here is completely incorrect. I…read morepersonally went to this daycare throughout the majority of my childhood. Randy and Janet are like family to me. I still visit when possible. The kids do not watch TV all day. They get play time, educational activites such as practicing writing (I learned how to write here which prepared me for kindergarten), and craft time (painting, coloring, etc). They throw parties for the kids on holidays and treat the children here like their own. The whole potty training thing on the other review is a boldface lie. They absolutely allow the children to use toilet paper and they of course wipe the children at every diaper change (and of course use baby powder and diaper rash ointment if necessary). I don't know how a parent that is there for drop off and pickup would claim something like that. I've been there as the child - all day - I think I would know better. Also yes, sometimes kids cry. If a kid is crying because they had to go to time out or a baby/ toddler is crying when they've been put down for a nap (fed, burped, dry, and clean of course) they obviously aren't going to pander to the child because they don't want to sleep or sit in time out. I am dumbfounded by the other review. They always take the best care of the children. Not to mention I've seen the other bigger pre schools in the area. The classes are so large that the children can't learn, the main focus is on just keeping them occupied. This childcare provides an experience that is educational and keeps the kids comfortable (the home environment is a lot less scary than a bigger pre school). Just look to me as an example. I am a college student majoring in biotechnology, and I graduated high school with technical and academic honors. I still look back on my time spent here fondly, and I look forward to when I can see Randy and Janet again.

She does not usually lock the door and several times when picking up my child she was asleep in her chair while children ran around the downstairs. In the few months we had our child there, aside from the initial interview, we never saw her get out of her chair, not even when children were crying and screaming. She doesn't use baby wipes when changing pee diapers or allow the children to use tp when potty trained for #1. Please investigate fully before sending your child here, we were able to find stimulating childcare from a reliable lady that cares about our child for cheaper.

It doesn't look like much but it was obvious everyone cares for the animals and wants their best. It was clean and smelled of bleach despite being early on a weekend. We were able to spend some time with one dog and decided to adopt her. They didn't have info but shared all they knew, and even several days later were helpful when we called with questions. These dogs and cats are in a much better place and we so appreciated the care they put into even the tougher cases. They also recommended a trainer when we asked who is already helping us greatly!

Paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, etc. If you brought some to the house you could help "pack the pace car" and get your picture taken in it. This was a great idea and I was so glad to see so many people donated. It was a two day event from 3-6 pm. You just pulled up at the circle and drop it off. They said they will most likely do this event next year because they had a great turn out. Years ago Yelp had event here where we baked cookies for the families at the Ronald McDonald House. It was a great way to help out the families that are going through so much. We got to see Mac the therapy dog and they took us on a tour of the house. All the families receive a bag full of items upon arrival. Some of these families live out of state while some are in state but maybe live far from Riley Hospital. They have volunteer opportunities as well as lists of items they may need periodically at the house. I hope Yelp does another event here again. I guess they had one a couple of years before I did the event during Christmas time. This is a great organization that I will definitely donate to again!

The Ronald McDonald House is one of those non-profits that you're excited to get behind because you…read moreknow they're well-run. They constantly need both volunteers to make breakfasts, dinners, frozen meals, and bake cookies. They also have nightly activities such as Bingo that they love volunteers to run. Sign up ahead of time to reserve your group. They take groups on a tour of the space and explain everything. I found this to be incredibly special, as it attached our group to the work we were about to do and the heart behind the organization. The Ronald McDonald House allows families to stay as long as they need while they're child is in Riley Hospital. Families stay for either one night to a year. The homemade meals are vital to provide, as people under the stress of having a loved one in the hospital often forget to eat and need to be cared for. They also accept donations - however everything does need to be new (nonperishable food, lotions, shampoos, soaps, toothbrushes, etc). The only thing that can be donated used is books (they have an awesome library for the families). We baked cookies with our group and it was a fun, group-bonding activity in addition to being able to provide for a group that needs it. Grab your friends and volunteer here for an evening!
