Providing quality wrap around services on the Far Eastside. Read about our programs.

We are proud to recognize our March 2025 Food Distribution Partner — Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated? Chi Chi Omega Chapter! Since 2021, Chi Chi Omega Chapter has been a consistent and strong partner to CAFE, helping us bring impactful programming to women, families, and youth on the Far Eastside of Indianapolis. In 2024, we were honored to serve as one of their CHIPP (Child Hunger Initiative Power Packs) sites, helping provide essential food support to children and families facing food insecurity. Earlier this month, they continued their service by volunteering at our March 10th food distribution, where together we served over 3,000 pounds of food to our community in just one day. In addition to their time and service, they also donated feminine hygiene products to help meet the needs of women in our community. We are truly grateful for their continued partnership and dedication to the Far Eastside. Thank you, Chi Chi Omega Chapter, for being part of the work to build a stronger, healthier community!
