ABOUT US
Our History
“Unto Him” started as a simple family community service project, inspired by the book “A Cup Of Cold Water in His Name – 60 Ways to Care For The Needy”, by Lorie Newman.
I heard Lorie interviewed about her book on “Focus On The Family” in April of 2015. I was so inspired by the interview that I purchased the book. My family and I started using Lorie’s book as a guide to engage in creative ways to serve people in need in our community every Sunday after church. Soon others started hearing about what our family was doing, and asked if their families could join us.
In June of 2016 we decided to formally start scheduling community service projects - starting with a dinner serving at a local downtown Indianapolis mission for homeless men - under the name of “Unto Him”. Since then “Unto Him” has had over 120 people volunteer to serve thousands of people in need throughout central Indiana.
Our volunteers are made up of everyday people - transcending gender, race, denomination, church affiliation, and social economic status – all with one commonality: our love for the Lord, and our desire to please Him by serving those in need in our community.
As our number of volunteers continues to rapidly grow by the month, so does the reach, depth, and breadth of those in need that we are able to serve.
