Gifts were purchased for patients at Riley Hospital for Children, as well as for Indianapolis-area school children and their families.

Dream Alive Shopping and Wrapping
Indianapolis staffers supported DREAM Alive Christmas projects by shopping with scholars at Meijer and then helping them wrap the presents. The wrapping party took place at the American Structurepoint Café. Gifts were distributed at the DREAM Alive Christmas party at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on December 18.
Pack Away Hunger Event
In honor of Hunger Awareness Month, Indianapolis employees and family members packed meals bound for Haiti at a Pack Away Hunger event in November. In just two hours, our team managed to pack 5,616 meals. Wanting to reach a final count of 10,000, a group from Fishers Intermediate School,learning about food insecurity, took on the challenge of packing the remaining meals. Great job everyone!
