In south central Indiana, nearly half of all families struggle to make ends meet, despite their hard work. Living paycheck to paycheck while hovering at or below the poverty line is a harsh reality for many families.
We’re rallying the community to help connect people to possibility and build greater financial stability for the future -- whether it is financial stability, access to food and shelter, or youth opportunities.

*** Advance sales only - No tickets sold at the door.***
