Here, your child can get a backpack filled with school supplies for free. You can also enjoy food, games, and more, thanks to the Indianapolis Fire Department and Gleaners.
Health services, such as vaccinations and physicals, will also be available for students. If your child needs a certain vaccine, you only need to bring their current shot records and insurance/Medicaid card.
