INDIANAPOLIS – On Thursday, September 3, 2015, the Indianapolis Colts teamed up with Dayspring Center Family Emergency Shelter to host a cash collection prior to the Colts vs. Bengals preseason game. In the two hours prior to kickoff, Dayspring Center volunteers were able to collect around $1,500 in cash donations to benefit local homeless families with children. Bearing the hot and humid weather, volunteers were extremely excited and energetic to be a part of the fundraising efforts.
Dayspring Center provides emergency shelter, clothing and three nourishing meals-a-day for homeless families with children in central Indiana. Families turn to Dayspring Center as a last resort; some to escape domestic abuse, others have experienced financial collapse, medical problems or crises that caused them to lose their home.
