Family Service of Central Indiana, Inc

Founded on Thanksgiving Day in 1835 to help new arrivals to the Indianapolis area with material needs such as food, clothing and shelter, we have evolved and changed with the community in order to best meet the needs of central Indiana families. Today, as central Indiana's oldest not-for-profit social service agency, we remain dedicated to preserving and strengthening families through professional help that families can afford.

2010 will be a landmark year for Family Service of Central Indiana as we celebrate our 175th anniversary. Through various upcoming events, Family Service will pay tribute to 175 years of providing counseling, education, and support to families in Central Indiana. Learn more >>
