Friday, June 19 marked what we hope will be the first annual “A Night In Our City.” The event put together by Response Church and The Salvation Army aimed to raise money and awareness in order to support the downtown women and children’s shelter and educate the greater Indianapolis area about domestic violence and its prevalence in our city; reinforce the value of family and community; and to reduce abuse, neglect, and deaths involving the women and children in Indianapolis.

The event featured a silent auction, fun games and a moonbounce for children, four live bands and food provided by HotBox Pizza and Starbucks Coffee. The event also presented a perfect opportunity to recognize the shelter’s first Employee of the Year, Stephanie Moore.

A special thanks to all of our wonderful sponsors, volunteers, staff, Response Church and Blue Trolley Press for helping make this event a success!
