Fletcher Place Community Center
BREAKING THE CYCLE OF POVERTY THROUGH HOPE, COMPASSION & RENEWAL
Fletcher Place Community Center, located at the corner of State
& Prospect in Indianapolis, believes that taking care of the community is
something everyone can do. They work to help families who are coping with
difficult times. From Christmas help to a free store, they work all year to
support families throughout the community. Outreach services include: a Free Store, Food Pantry, Hot Meals, Community
Garden, a Christmas program and Preschool. Volunteer opportunities range from serving a
meal, sorting donations at the free store, stocking food in the food pantry,
working in the Community Garden project, or helping with building upkeep. You
can also help out with their annual Christmas Store in late November! Each
year, generous volunteers put in thousands of hours at the center.
Financial donations may be given on Sundays during April using the white
mission envelope in the worship bulletin or given here.
More information is available at their website: fletcherplacecc.org or contact St. Mark’s Mission Coordinator, Liz Rix.
