Eat in the Street for homeless kids

If you’ve known us for long, you know that homelessness is both a challenge for our city and a cause near and dear to The Salvation Army’s heart.

For the 1,300 kids in Indianapolis who eat their meals and spend their nights in the streets, homelessness is a bitter reality. So, on Thursday, October 2, The Salvation Army will take another bite out of homelessness by inviting those who live and do business downtown to Eat in the Street for homeless kids.

For this event, the northwest quadrant of Monument Circle is partitioned off so lunch-goers can come by to Eat in the Street from 10:30am – 1:30pm. Applebee’s restaurants graciously donates their time and food to this event so all proceeds from lunch sales go to our Homelessness Bites campaign to end homelessness in Indy. We’re also thrilled that Classic Hits 104.5FM WJJK is our exclusive radio partner for Apple Fest this year.

We’d like you to join us!

1. Use your lunch dollars to make a difference in Indy - Since Applebee’s is footin’ the bill for the food, your lunch dollars will provide shelter, housing assistance, resources and support for the moms and their 1,300 kids who find themselves homeless due to financial struggles and domestic violence.

2. Showcase your business to potential customers – Booth space is only $150. You can get out there in the community and keep all the sales from the day. And, we’ll give you some promotion. Since Classic Hits 104.5FM WJJK will be promoting the event on their station and an event link on their website, their listeners will have a chance to see you on our website. We’ll feature your logo and business info.

Apple Fest is a great opportunity to use your lunch dollars to make a difference in Indy AND to reach potential customers for your business while giving back to the community. Want to know more? Send me an e-mail here or give me a call at 224-1019.
