Take a Bite out of Homelessness with Salvation Army Apple Fest

As part of The Salvation Army’s campaign to end homelessness in Indianapolis, the Apple Fest is coming to downtown this October. Appropriately themed with the idea that homelessness really bites, the event is sure to bring awareness, entertainment and a lot of great eating to downtown Indy in Monument Circle on Thursday, October 6th.

In partnership with Emmis Communications, the Apple Fest will feature Bandwagon performing live classics and top 40’s music during lunch time and a variety of family fun events will take place to raise needed funds for helping the homeless in the community. The Salvation Army estimates that about 7,500 Indianapolis citizens are homeless and most are comprised of families unable to afford basic shelter for parent and children. Twenty five percent or 1,500 of the Indy homeless are children.

Until the event starts in October, be sure to visit the Apple Fest website and find out what you can do to help. When you bring a filled Bite Back food drive box to the event, you’ll receive a free apple cobbler dessert. Also, Coats for Kids will be collecting coats for children to help them during the cold winter months, and when you donate kids’ coats, you’ll also receive a free cobbler as well.
