Listen to Cody Ikerd and the Sidewinders

In south central Indiana, nearly half of all families struggle to make ends meet, despite their hard work. Living paycheck to paycheck while hovering at or below the poverty line is a harsh reality for many families.

We’re rallying the community to help people make ends meet today and build greater financial stability for the future -- whether it is financial empowerment opportunities, access to food and shelter, or rent and utility assistance.
