One City Indianapolis

More than 4,200 children, adults, and seniors have been served through One City Indianapolis since 2023.

The First Shoe Distribution

Westminster Neighborhood Services

In 2024, our journey of giving back to the Indianapolis community began on August 27th when 600 children, adults and seniors were given new shoes. This was made possible through generous sponsor support from Republic Airways.

Serving Schools

Promise Prep Academy & Brookside Elementary

Over 700 elementary children at two different schools, received new shoes and messages of hope. Brookside included a special MLK celebration as we encouraged children to dream big!  Events were made possible by sponsorship from DuraMark Technologies and many individual donors.

Multigenerational Service

The Lord's Pantry at Anna's House

Through the generous partnership of several local donors, we were able to serve over 600 people who arrived at The Lord’s Pantry on a Saturday to receive not only food from their pantry, but also the gift of shoes.  We had the opportunity to sit and listen to individuals who are facing economic challenges, many of whom are struggling to pay for basic needs.

Public Service Partnership

Goodwin Center

In December, Police officers on the southwest side of Indy came together to provide toys and shoes for children in need. Together we celebrated the holiday season and the children were able to spend time with leaders in the community.

Partner's Experience

Omari Stringer, IMPD

 “Your partnership with the IMPD Southwest District truly made all the difference—without you, none of this could have happened. The event was not only impactful but also so much fun! Seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces and the way the community came together was unforgettable. Your support and enthusiasm were key to its success, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything you did to help bring this vision to life. I’m incredibly hopeful for the future and the possibility of doing this again. With people like you by our side, I know we can continue to make a meaningful impact together. Thank you again for your belief in this initiative and for making a real difference in our community.”
