Hand2Hand Program to help local families

Parent Education and Support Committee launches Hand 2 Hand Program!

The Parent Education and Support Committee is proud to announce a new program that will benefit families in the Indianapolis Central Indiana area. It is called Hand 2 Hand. This program will help to provide those in need with gently used clothing, furniture, children’s toys and adaptability items free of charge. If you have a child with Down syndrome or a disability and are in need of any of these items, please email Jenni at hand2hand4indy@aol.com.

Three examples of how this program can work are as follows:

1. A child is unexpectedly hospitalized. The family can request clothing, especially pajamas that snap down the front to accommodate necessary medical procedures while wearing more comfortable clothing.

2. A self advocate (adult with Down syndrome) moves into a new apartment and is in need of furniture and dishes to furnish the apartment. DSI can help!

3. A single parent has a child with Down syndrome and has a serious financial need. The family can request items from Down Syndrome Indiana such as gently used clothes that have already been altered to fit a child with Down syndrome.

How does it work?

If you are in need of any of these items, please just contact Jenni at hand2hand4indy@aol.com or call her directly at 317-835-2492.

Storage space for this program was generously donated by D and D’s Strictly Storage.
