Did you know The Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention’s annual Indianapolis homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) count found the amount of people homeless in the city increased by 10% – which is the highest homeless count in the city since 2014. Currently, 1,787 people are without homes, according to CHIP.
But I bet what you didn’t know is the thing homeless people need most… is SOCKS.
CIERC started the "Operation Warm Toes" to help collect new socks for a month to donate to the Horizon House. On Wednesday, CIERC members Leah Brearley and Cris Miller dropped off the box full of new socks as part of "Operation Warm Toes".

ACES joined Keep Indianapolis Beautiful to plant shade trees in the tree lawns along Denny Street and Chester Avenue, part of Indy’s Near Eastside community, on Saturday, October 10th. City trees help reduce the effects of storm water runoff from pavement and other impermeable surfaces, providing relief to the combined sewer overflow system in Indianapolis. ACES was excited to be a part of this high-impact project and KIB’s 10,000 Trees initiative!
