American
Red Cross Each
week, many Hendricks County residents rely on American Red Cross
transportation to get to dialysis, chemotherapy and other medically
related appointments. Area volunteer drivers are needed to provide
this free service. Volunteers drive Red Cross vehicles, and
shifts are flexible. There is no lifting or carrying, although
some clients require minimal assistance. Drivers must have training
in first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which Red Cross
will provide for free. Volunteers must be 18, have a valid driver's
license and a good driving record. To volunteer or for more
information, call Brad Schleppi at 1-317-684-4331. For additional

Project
A.N.G.E.L. (Area
Neighbors Giving Extra Love) is a not for profit organization
which helps provide life’s basic needs and Christmas to the less
fortunate children in Hendricks County. We operate solely on
donations from individuals and businesses. Project A.N.G.E.L.
is run by a board of nine people and hundreds of volunteers.
There are no paid positions. Over twenty years ago, members of
the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department saw the need for a
service that could provide Christmas to needy children and
families in Hendricks County. Since then we have grown to help
year round with school supplies, heat, and other special
circumstances. We also present scholarships to high school
seniors in Hendricks County who have provided Project A.N.G.E.L.
with endless hours of service. We feel Project A.N.G.E.L. has
the potential of becoming and effective alternative to the
lacking or diminishing state and federal emergency funding for
those citizens in dire need of help.
