Our Partners in Sharing God's Love

Helping Hats of Indianapolis is excited to partner with two amazing ministries this year: Shepherd Community Center and Good News Ministries. Helping Hats will be making hats and scarves for these organizations to distribute during the winter months.

From the Shepherd Community Center homepage:

Shepherd is a faith-based, non-profit organization established in 1984 with a simple but staggering goal: to break the cycle of poverty on the near east side of Indianapolis. Located centrally within the community it serves, Shepherd offers programs for children, teens, adults, and families, helping to meet their physical, emotional, academic, and spiritual needs.

From the Good News Ministries homepage:

Good News Ministries is dedicated to proclaiming the gospel among the disadvantaged people of the inner-city and establishing them in Christian living while extending assistance of shelter, food, clothing, medical care and educational opportunities. Our ultimate goal is to help individuals achieve independent living with a reliance on God.

The volunteers of Helping Hats are humbled to be used by God to help these ministries achieve their goals. It is our prayer that the items we donate will not only keep people warm, but will be a tool that God uses to show them just how much He loves them.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. -- Galatians 6:10
