On Sept. 3, the Colts will team up with Dayspring Center Family Emergency Shelter to host a cash collection prior to the Colts vs. Bengals game. From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., volunteers will be accepting donations to benefit Dayspring Center. Donations will be collected at the Colts Community Collection Stations, presented by Toyota, located outside each Lucas Oil Stadium gate.
Dayspring Center provides emergency shelter, clothing and three nourishing meals-a-day for homeless families with children in central Indiana. Families turn to Dayspring Center as a last resort; some to escape domestic abuse, others have experienced financial collapse, medical problems or crises that caused them to lose their home.
On any given night, more than 3,700 children are homeless in Indianapolis. All proceeds from Thursday’s collection will help Dayspring Center serve these children and their families by providing food, shelter and support services for them. To learn more about Dayspring Center and their services, visit Dayspringindy.org.
The Colts Gameday Collections program will continue to run throughout the 2015 season with a different charitable collection held prior to each home game. Upcoming collections include Teachers’ Treasures School Supply Drive and Indy BackPack Attack. A complete list of future collections is available at Colts.com/collections.
