HealthNet’s outreach programs provide case management and basic necessities to thousands of families each year. This year in particular, we are hoping to meet some of these needs by encouraging local companies, civic organizations, schools and faith-based institutions to host Holiday Fund Drives to collect much needed items and donations.

In particular, our Better Indy Babies pantry at University Heights United Methodist Church is in need of boys clothes sizes 6, 9, and 12 months.

Better Indy Babies (BIBs) is a free home visitation program for expecting mothers. BIBs is designed to promote a healthier you for a healthy pregnancy.

Learn more about this program by watching any or all of the following interviews we had the pleasure of doing with staff!

If you have been meaning to clean out those closets – now would be a great time to do so! Not only would you help provide families and children with some much needed items this season – you will also get a jump start on that New Year’s resolution.
