INDIANAPOLIS — Each year, Damien Center’s Holiday Assistance Program provides nutritional, financial and material support to approximately 150–200 clients, many of whom are living well below the federal poverty level. The program is funded entirely through community donations, making every contribution especially meaningful.
There are three ways the community can help:
• Make a monetary donation: Visit damien.org/give and designate the gift for “Holiday Assistance.” Damien Center aims to provide approximately $75 in assistance per client.
• Purchase items from the Amazon wish list: Shop the wish list, which includes items at a variety of price points that directly benefit clients and programs.
• Donate a new winter coat: Help stock Damien Center’s new Client Clothing Pantry, opening in January 2027. Coats can be dropped off at the second-floor reception desk of the Mosaic Building, 1420 E. Washington St.
Holiday donations are requested by Dec. 14, ahead of Damien Center’s annual Client Holiday Party. New winter coats will be accepted through January 2027.
