Thrivent Financial, in conjunction with Truth at Work, has launched Activate Indy, a volunteerism and leadership development program centered around not-for-profits in Central Indiana. The group is led by Truth at Work board members Ray Hilbert and Mark Hall.

“I am honored to be a part of this community volunteerism explosion,” said Hall. “Our corporate service projects include the Feeding Families initiative where we get to see firsthand how important volunteerism is to several Activate Indy charities. It is rewarding to be a part of serving so many of our neighbors.”

Activate Indy is designed to develop leadership and target the growth of volunteerism within the services that each provide to the community. The folks at Truth at Work and Thrivent have underwritten “Activate Indy” in part as an effort to help each NFP expand volunteerism, recruitment and utilization within each charity. In addition, Thrivent features Activate Indy members on local radio and has dedicated financial support to each.

Initial member organizations are Shepherd Community Center, Million Meal Movement, Central Indiana Youth for Christ, Sheltering Wings, Todah Give, Student Impact of Westfield, Wheeler Mission, Grace Church Care Center, Hope Center Indy and The Foundation for Lutheran Child and Family Services. Collectively, these organizations serve thousands daily in Central Indiana.
