Fletcher Place Community Center has been serving the southeast side of Indianapolis since 1872. They strive to meet the needs of families and the homeless, helping them work towards self-sufficiency. All of their programs are free to those in need.
 

Fletcher Place Offers:

Meals: Volunteers prepare and serve meals Monday-Friday that are free and open to the public. (St. Mark’s serves breakfast the 4th Thursday each month and other meals as needed.)
 

Free Store: Donations of gently-used summer clothing (for men, women & children) are needed.
 

Preschool: This September-May program that is only open to families that have an income below the poverty line, prepares at-risk children for Kindergarten.
 

Food Pantry: During the summer they have a real need for food that children can prepare on their own including microwaveable food, peanut butter & jelly, mac & cheese, and fresh fruit.
 

“Art in the City” is a six-week summer program for children ages 6-18. Children in the program are in need of a safe and fun place to spend the summer and it will be offered free to qualified families.
 

Homeless: There is a greater demand for these important items during the summer: deodorant, sun screen, Chap Stick and bottled water.

Monetary donations may be made using the mission envelope in your Sunday bulletin. St. Mark’s will also collect and deliver any of the needed items listed above.
