Fletcher Place needs help for Christmas distributions
INDIANAPOLIS - The Fletcher Place Ministries, a United Methodist-related ministry in Indianapolis and South Indiana Conference Advance Special has served the poor and homeless since 1872.
Fletcher Place currently prepares its annual Christmas Help program to make sure that children in the area and their families receive some level of support for the holidays. This program also reaches the homeless and senior citizens.
Fletcher Place is in need of both volunteers to assist in this massive program along with donations of new toys and clothes and funds. This year Fletcher Place remind residents of the needs right here at home. In addition to pending Christmas needs, Fletcher Place has helped families displaced by Katrina through its free thrift store and meals.
The Christmas Help program is currently taking donations. Our set up for the program begins the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 26 and runs Monday, Nov. 28 through Saturday, Dec. 3 of the following week. Families will come to receive items of their choice Dec. 5-9.
Fletcher Place plans to assist more than 400 families including 2,000 children. Funds also will be used to insure that each child and teen will receive his or her own Bible in a language they can understand.
For more information, contact the Rev. Jessi at 317-636-3466 ext. 6.
