Support Hope Packages so we can continue to grow!
Thanks to our volunteers’ enthusiasm for our last knitting and crochet circle, Hope Packages is excited to announce that we are making this a regular event! Meet us on the first Saturday of every month to eat snacks, build relationships, and make hats to put in our care packages. Yarn and tools will be available, but we encourage all who have supplies to spare to bring them along.
This event is specifically for people who already have experience with fiber arts, though anyone is welcome to join us for the conversation. As our group grows, we plan to recruit volunteers who can teach knitting and crochet to folks with less experience. Stay tuned for more details!
Also, a special shout out to Susan from Mass Ave Knit Shop for giving us a space to meet every month. You rock, Susan!
Donations are not necessary to attend this event, but they are always welcome! This month, we are prioritizing drawstring bags, protein bars, toothpaste, travel shampoo, conditioner, lotion and deodorant. You can also purchase items directly from our Amazon wish list that will be sent to the Indianapolis Liberation Center.
You can also donate to Hope Packages, an independent entity operating under the umbrella of the Indianapolis Liberation Center. If possible, we encourage you to become a monthly Sustainer at whatever price you can consistently afford. The more Sustainers we have, the more reliably we can organize and distribute our packages!
When you donate to Hope Packages, you’re not only helping our homeless community members survive but also working toward a larger overarching project of transforming our city. A transformation where instead of giving hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to real estate developers and banks, we use that money to actually challenge the structures and systems that cause homelessness. If you have questions or want to get more involved, reach out to us in person at the center or email info@indyhopepackages.org.
