Mission Statement
Westminster Neighborhood Services provides education support, access to basic needs, and community connections to empower neighbors and strengthen youth and families on the Near Eastside of Indianapolis.
About This Cause
Westminster's Family and Adult Services include a food pantry and soup kitchen that are open on Monday and Thursday each week, the second and fourth Saturday of the month, and an additional Senior Shopping Day in our food pantry and soup kitchen on the third Wednesday of every month for people 55+. We also offer a health clinic in partnership with Gennesaret Free Clinics, a school supply bash in the summer, and a Christmas Basket program each winter. We also bring in partners during pantry days such as Humana, Oak Street Health, Gleaners SNAP Outreach, and legal offices to provide more resources for our neighbors. Children and Youth Programs include K-8 afterschool and summer programs which provide a safe, nurturing place for school-age children ages 6-14. They reinforce and enrich academic skills, teach social skills, encourage good citizenship, and provide activities to encourage a healthy lifestyle. WNS’ youth programs also bring in specialists who work with the students to incorporate math, science and language-arts skills as well as visual arts for project-based learning. Community service projects are also incorporated into youth programs – as well as leadership development and cultural activities that expand students' awareness of opportunities beyond their local community.
