Virtual Green Bag Collections

---

We accept food donations ALL year-round of ANY TYPE!

If you would like to distribute Green Bags to your friends, neighbors, workmates, or another public location or church, please call the Merciful HELP Center office at 317-663-4039 ext. 6 and talk with the admin Assistant to arrange to have green bags, donations pages, and envelopes ready for you to collect. 

We distribute Green Bags throughout the summer months at Carmel Public Library to help gather food to give out to families through our Carmel Summer Lunch Program. Contact Elizabeth Hamilton at Carmel Public Library for more information. 

Each year we schedule two  Green Bag Sundays that are held at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church. Green bags are distributed after Masses and are received back the following weekends. On the green bag is a list of items that we need to serve the poor with items considered staples in any household.

We are doing a "Virtual Green Bag Sunday" in order to not pass things from person to person unnecessarily.  We will be at the Merciful HELP Center on the weekend of September 11 & 12, 2021 to accept donations and will ALWAYS be grateful for them in the donation room at any time!
