Take Action

There are many ways you can Take Action at the Damien Center. 

The staff members of the Damien Center are able to do their jobs well thanks to our amazing volunteer force and financial contributors who have supported them over the last 21 years. Currently, we are matching volunteers with the job opportunities that meet the needs of the ever-changing face of HIV. Volunteer at the Damien center to contribute your time.  You can also volunteer at the center or at one of our many exciting events/fundraisers throughout the year like Dining out for Life or Grande Masquerade. 

We take donations in our food pantry at any time.  Not only do we need donations of food and personal items but food pantry staff use plastic grocery bags to distribute items to our clients.  Your contributions of new or recycled bags are always appreciated.

If you would like to make a financial contribution to help the Damien Center in its mission we have a number of opportunities available.  We offer four active donor levels and a variety of sponsorship opportunities. We will work to help you find a giving and recognition level to meet your personal and professional needs.  You can also Donate to the Damien Center on our secure site and even choose the direction you would like your donation to go.

Donate to Our Efroymson Client Services Assurance Fund

The Center's Client Services Assurance Fund, born from the Center's capital campaign efforts, was started by the financial generosity of the Efroymson Fund.  This restricted and board monitored Fund allows Damien Center programs to be safeguarded against future potential Federal, Indiana State, and Marion County budget cuts.  If this occurs, money will be used from this Fund to supplement the associated costs, so that programs can continue for our community and our clients uninterrupted.
