We invite youth and young adults, ages 12-24, to come out and enjoy Family Night Out! Feel free to bring your well behaved adult(s), and other friends and family, to enjoy a night of good times and great vibes.
Join us each and every fourth Saturday at VOICES Corp for the return of Indy’s original Sober Social. Each month will have a different featured activity (i.e. game night, karaoke, arts & crafts, etc.) for all attendees to participate in, along with access to vendors and food trucks.
In light of the excessive loss and violence being experienced in our community, and across the world, we feel it is imperative to celebrate life.
We believe in celebrating with purpose and are excited to announce our week of events for this year's 2nd Annual Celebration of Life Week.
To support National Mental Health Awareness Month, this year's Celebration of Life will kick off our official Capacity Building Campaign: Operation GROW.
Phase one of Operation GROW is The SEED Project. For this phase we are focusing our fundraising efforts on fully funding and sustaining our operations.
With a goal of $30, 000, funds raised during / for Celebration of Life will go towards:
Sprinter Van (to expand Street Outreach program)
Starting the Legacy Fund (a grant / scholarship program for mother &/or youth entrepreneurs)
Supplies for Programs (notebooks, pens/pencils, snacks, fidgets, books, etc.)
As a 501c3 nonprofit, MRCI will use proceeds from merch and ticket sales to continue to keep our programs and services sponsored (at no cost to our fellows) for those who need them most.
*Note: All sales are considered donations and may be eligible as tax deductions. Please contact us for a receipt for tax preparation, if applicable.
To celebrate Spring and the Easter holiday, Minority Recovery Collective Inc. (MRCI) invites you to Mama's Table.
This event is a unique opportunity to bring together multiple generations for a chance to connect and feel supported during seasons / times of gathering (usually around certain holidays). In order to stand in the gap, we knew we had to create spaces for those who don’t always feel supported and/or who may not have much family / friends. Plus we wanted as many people in recovery, or those who are invested in their wellness, to experience connecting and supporting Black owned / operated resources and businesses through our vendor market, The Rest Stop. Food and games are provided, all you have to do is RSVP.
Dress code: Come as you are :)
Our Vendors will be listed here soon…
More information coming soon….
