July 9: Andrew Green, Shepherd Community Center
Join us on Tuesday as we hear from Andrew Green, Assistant Executive Director of the Shepherd Community Center, Adam Perkins, Community Police Officer and Shane Hardwick, Community Paramedic.
The opioid crisis has taken over the country and has become a huge issue throughout Indiana.The Shepherd Community Center has implemented a unique approach to this epidemic and has seen a huge success in the decrease of drug use, violent crimes and ambulance calls in their community.
Shepherd Community Center is a faith-based, non-profit organization established in 1984 with a simple but staggering goal: to break the cycle of poverty on the near east side of Indianapolis. Located centrally within the community it serves, Shepherd offers programs for children, teens, adults and families, helping to meet their physical, emotional, academic, and spiritual needs.
All are welcome at Rotary programs. The lunch buffet opens at Ivy Tech Culinary and Conference Center at 11:45 a.m. and the program runs 12:15 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. See you there!
