A Partnership That Works For Those In Need
HHOOT requests that our Participating Organizations and Partners (non-profits) make a minimum donation to help cover our transportation, warehouse maintenance and insurance costs. Thank you in advance for your support.
For our Individual Homeless Friends – everything we receive from Midwest Foods, Second Helpings, the Lions Club, or CVS is provided FREE of charge.
HHOOT will only request a specific amount of money for a particular item when HHOOT has to purchase the item or HHOOT incurs additional transportation costs.
If there's anything we've learned in our 20+ years of helping people here at HRH-HHOOT, it's a fact that the more donations we give out, the more donations we get back to help those in need.
If you are one of those donors, Thank You.
Not exactly Luke 6:38 but we believe it's a God thing! | Why we do what we do: Matthew 25:34-46

Don Hawkins started working with Joyce & Charlie Yant and formed Hands of Hope Ministries in 2000, who was serving the Homeless every Saturday morning in downtown Indy. In 2002 he started working as a volunteer with Indiana's Prisons, Work Release Centers, Community Corrections Corp., GEO, Liberty Hall, Jails, Inmates, and ex-offenders. He was also on several DOC Community Advisory Boards. He participated in numerous prison ministries, clothes drives, electronics drives, mentoring, etc. He then founder Homeless & ReEntry Helpers (HRH) in 2004 and incorporated it in 2008. He founded Helpers Helping Others Outreach Team (HHOOT) in 2011 and has been serving/helping Indy's Homeless, ExOffenders & Veterans since then.
In 2011 HRH-HHOOT partnered with the Mayors' Advisory Council for Veterans (MACV) to help with the Mayor's first "Veterans Appreciation Day" event at the American Legion Mall. In 2014 Veterans Support Council, Inc. (VSC) was incorporated. HRH was VSC's second Partner (MACV was the first). Since then, HRH-HHOOT & VSC have shared and maintained offices and warehouse space to help those in need, including Indy's Veterans, Military, and their families. HHOOT's Distribution Center (HDC) was incorporated on the 11th of September 2019.
Below are pictures of our warehouse and just some of the many partners, donors, helpers, volunteers, and ministries that help HRH & VSC serve those in immediate need through HHOOT's Distribution Center (HDC).
