help take bags of gifts out to parent/guardian vehicles.
Sorting/inventory will take place on various dates in November and early December at a warehouse in Whitestown followed by set up from December 10-12 and 15 at our Eagle Creek Corps. Distribution will consist of both a shopping experience where families will select gifts as well as bag distribution where families to come pick up gifts selected by donors for the children tentatively scheduled at our Eagle Creek Corps from December 16-19 between 8:30am-6:30pm.

St. Sebastian by Andrew Kramer, Jan 23rd thru Feb 8th, IF Theatre
2026-01-23 - 2026-02-08 | IndyFringe, 719 E. St. Clair Street, Indianapolis, IN, 46202, United States
Box Office, Usher, and Bartenders needed. In this dark comedy, Ben, a former priest, persuades Gideon, his younger “liberal-anti-gun-queer-feminist-PC-sensitivity trainer” partner, to leave their cozy city life behind to flip a fixer-upper, but he conveniently forgets to mention one detail: the house is in a historically—and currently—Black neighborhood. When Ben hires and befriends a local teenager, Reuben, what begins as a “fresh start” quickly spirals into a tense collision of good intentions, buried prejudice, and uncomfortable truths. With biting humor and a chilling edge, St. Sebastian pulls back the curtain on the subtle, insidious ways racism can hide in plain sight—especially behind the mask of good intentions and “wokeness.”

Newfields is a 152-acre campus in Indianapolis that includes the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA), Oldfields, and 100 Acres Park. The campus features art galleries, gardens, and a historic home. New and exciting opportunities are always being developed and added. We have volunteer shifts that fit any schedule with shifts on weekdays, evenings, and weekends.
As a special treat, Indianapolis Ambassadors and their guests are invited to explore the museum and Newfields for free on Thursday afternoon prior to the meeting.
Space is limited. Reserve your tickets here. Guests are encouraged to pay what they wish on this day so they can select a free ticket or make a donation if they wish. By reserving their own tickets, they are able to explore our campus before the meeting as well.
After the meeting, the group is invited to join up for refreshments at our ‘Out After’ at TBA.
