2005-06 ISES Community Outreach Project

This year’s Community Outreach Program is going to benefit Horizon House, a day center for the homeless. ISES Indiana will be assisting Horizon House with their 2nd annual Tackling Homelessness event in August, 2006. The event will be hosted by Indianapolis Colt’s player, Josh Williams and his wife, Marcella. If you are interested in serving on the Community Outreach Program committee to assist Horizon House with their event, please contact Lori Fields at ldfields@iupui.edu or 278-2136.

Fortunately, Lori received some wonderful proposals from other local non-profit organizations needing assistance with their 2006 fundraisers. Listed below are those organizations who had applied for this year’s Community Outreach Program. If you would like to volunteer on their planning committees or just offer some advice, please contact the organization directly.
