The Pour House

The Pour House is an non-profit organization based out of indianapolis that is centered around helping the homeless mainly in the downtown area.  They first assist the homeless with necessaries such as food, clothing, and a place to stay, but what this is unique about this organization is that they then build relationships with the people that they are helping.  They help them sign up for medical care services, try and further their education, help them obtain social security to get a job, and provided therapy sessions to deal with problems they are facing.  The Pour hose is a growing operation that is constantly adding more features to this list. 

This organization draws my attention because it is beneficial to people in our own community, and it is simple to get involved because its based in Indianapolis.  I also am very familiar with this organizations works because we are family friends with the woman in charge of the organization, and my dad is on the board.  I strongly believe in the goals of this organization, because it not only give back but has a long term effect on people.  Its not just a one time chance to get help or food and the next day it's gone.
