$1.8 Billion

$170.71

Any idea what these three sets of numbers stand for? Well, they all have to do with Mother’s Day, which is coming up this Sunday! Each year, approximately $2.2 billion is spent on flowers for Mom, while another $1.8 billion is spent on cards! That’s a total of 4 BILLION DOLLARS for flowers and cards! So you may be wondering, what’s $170.71 mean? According to Forbes the average mother’s day gift is approximately $170.71!

This year, consider giving a gift to Mom unlike any other! Unlike flowers or cards, which unfortunately get thrown away after a week or two, give the gift of changing lives.

Consider making a gift to HealthNet in honor or in memory of all the moms in your life.Your gift, in honor or memory of all the moms in your life can make a huge impact on Indy and the patients we serve. From helping provide mammograms for women who couldn’t otherwise afford them, to providing emergency medical care to patients, every gift, whether it’s $5.00 or $170.00 makes a difference in the lives of our patients. 

To make a tax-deductible donation in honor or memory of the moms in your life, you can click here or send a check by mail to HealthNet.

Consequently, as those tasks get completed it is a wonderful time to remember those in greater need than ourselves.

Donations of many kinds impact people in ways that we can not even imagine. Of course, monetary donations are always great as they typically have more flexibility associated with how they are used but also donations of clothing, shelf stable and non perishable food, hygiene items for men and women along with warm winter clothing all are in critical shortages this winter season. In Indianapolis as many as 8,000 individuals may experience homelessness within a given year and many of these individuals do not have the basic needs that are necessary for daily life.

The Homeless Initiative Program is committed to serving these individuals in our community who need assistance by providing Triage/Outreach services, intensive Case Management, medical support to our communities homeless shelters as well as Employment and Training services for those in the search for a career or their next step in the employment process. These basic items listed can go along way to ensuring that these basic needs are able to be met so that each individual served can continue on their path to self sufficiency and reduces the anxiety that many times comes along with not having these items.

If you wish to contribute in any way including volunteering, please contact the Homeless Initiative Program at (317) 957-2275 or drop your donations off at 1835 N. Meridian St. Indianapolis, IN 46202. To donate online using our safe, secure online giving options, please click here.

We appreciate the exceptional support that our communities provide to these individuals in need and hope you have a wonderful Holiday season.

Items in need:

• Gloves, hats, and scarves
• Wool socks to avoid frostbite
• Hand warmer packs
• Foot warmer packs
• Jeans/long pants for men or women
• Sweatpants/sweatshirts for men and women
• Coats for Adults
•  Blankets

As the holiday season approaches, many of us are busy making lists of last minute ingredients we need to get for Thanksgiving dinner and preparing for the holidays. But imagine if instead of making a list of ingredients for your famous Thanksgiving pie, you were trying to find a way to buy the medicine for your sick child. For hundreds of Indianapolis residents, this is an everyday occurrence.

We are so grateful for all of our donors who donate to us each year, and hope you will consider joining them. Whether your gift is large or small, every penny makes a difference in the lives of our patients.
