Red Cross Blood Drive
Sunday, August 24 | 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM | Family Life Center
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood and/or platelets. You can help save a life by signing up to donate.
You can also help make our blood drive a success without donating blood. We need volunteers to welcome donors and bring fruit and baked goods. We appreciate your help!
This will be our last Red Cross blood drive for this year. We are looking for a new person to take on this ministry for it to continue.
Unite to Support Streets to Home Indy Initiative
The Streets to Home Indy initiative is more than a housing campaign—it’s a moral call to action. Backed by a powerful multifaith coalition, this effort aims to provide permanent housing and supportive services to 350 of our unsheltered neighbors by June 2026.
The Greater Indianapolis Multifaith Alliance (GIMA) is calling on congregations and community members to help raise $270,000 as part of a broader $2.7 million commitment. Your support can be the turning point in someone’s life.
- Kickoff Event: Beyond The Bridge screening, August 14 at St. Luke’s UMC
- Ways to Give: Write a check to Castleton UMC and write “GIMA” in the memo line or you can give online and type “GIMA” in the notes
Let’s move from managing homelessness to ending it—together.
