Giving Tuesday: Street Reach Indy

To be a direct part of someone’s journey homeward, you can invest in your community by donating to Street Reach Indy, a flexible fund hosted by CHIP that provides financial assistance to individuals and families experiencing homelessness to overcome barriers to permanent housing. This is truly one of the most impactful ways you can help your neighbors come home.

CHIP’s Giving Tuesday goal is to raise $10,000 to support the fund through 2024’s coldest months of the year and beyond.

 

To give to the Giving Tuesday Street Reach Campaign, please visit www.ChipIndy.org/Donate on Tuesday, November 28, 2023 to access the Giving Tuesday Campaign. You can also tune into CHIP’s Social Media accounts to learn more.
