"Helping Homeless Families Help Themselves"

Holy Family Shelter, an emergency shelter for homeless families, addresses the increasing demand for emergency shelter in Indianapolis and central Indiana by providing residential services designed to move homeless families to self-sufficiency.

The shelter has the capacity to house up to 30 families on any given night. Depending on family size, there are 55-85 individuals living at the shelter at any given time. This is their "home" while they are with us and we take this responsibility to heart. We work diligently to provide food, shelter, basic material needs and a safe place for families in crisis to begin to heal.

 

Send A Homeless Child to Summer Camp

Each year, Holy Family Shelter offers the children at shelter the opportunity to participate in a summer enrichment program that includes educational, cultural, civic and recreational programming. Most importantly, this is a time where "a kid can be a kid" and just have FUN!
