Support Our Mission with a Financial Gift

Your financial contribution plays a critical role in our work at E.P.I.D.E.M.E.K. It helps us provide safe, supportive housing, life-changing programs, and reentry services for restored citizens working to rebuild their lives.

Each donation directly supports:

Transitional housing through our R.O.S.E.S. program
Reentry empowerment classes like Getting Ready While Getting Ahead
Policy advocacy to protect the rights of justice-involved individual

No amount is too small — every dollar moves someone closer to stability, opportunity, and a second chance.

Don’t forget: many employers offer donation-matching programs, allowing you to double your impact.

For questions or more information, contact us at 317-366-1582 or email info@epidemek.com.

In-Kind Contributions

We welcome in-kind donations that directly support our residents, programs, and community efforts.

We believe reentry is a community responsibility — and lasting change happens when people show up. Whether you're a professional, a returned citizen, a student, or someone who simply cares, there’s a role for you in this movement.

You don’t have to write a check to make an impact.

Current Needs Include:

Expertise in Training and Consulting (e.g., financial literacy, employment readiness, trauma-informed care)
Office and Program Supplies (paper, whiteboards, folders, markers)
Laptops or Desktop Computers for resident use and training
New or Gently Used Clothing & Shoes (men’s and women’s, all sizes)
Non-Perishable Food Items (canned goods, dry pantry staples)

Join us in this meaningful work. No contribution is too small — every item helps a restored citizen take one more step toward stability, dignity, and success.

Donate Property or Use of Space

If you're a property owner, business owner, or landlord willing to rent or donate housing or program space — let's talk. We’re expanding our transitional housing network and welcome partnerships that give people a real place to restart.

Volunteer Your Time

Help with events, move-ins, program coordination, or just lend a hand where it’s needed. Volunteers are the heartbeat of this work.

Speak or Train at One of Our Programs

Are you a justice-impacted leader, counselor, employer, or educator? We welcome guest speakers, workshop facilitators, and trainers to share insight with our program participants — especially in areas like:

Emotional intelligence
Financial literacy
Entrepreneurship
Substance use recovery
Life after incarceration
