Projects

The Hornet Park Food Pantry is located at the Hornet Park Community center. For the past five years, the pantry has been able to provide households with fresh sustainable produce through their client choice shopping method. Last year alone, the pantry served over 5,000 families!

The Beech Grove Summer Concert Series just concluded its 2nd year and we are already hard at work on the 2025 series! It has been such a fun experience partnering with the Parks Department and the Community Center to bring the joy of music to our city! 

We have been so grateful to be able to partner with some amazing organizations in order to do what we do. Gleaners has provided us with grant funding for pantry refrigeration, MIBOR and Citizens Energy have graciously sponsored our concert series, and community outreach events have brought more people back to our parks!

In our efforts to continue to help the Parks Department maintain a fun and safe environment, we helped replace old and broken equipment at Sarah T. Bolton Park in 2024.

 In 2024, the Parks Foundation was able to fully fund NEW batting cages at Hartman Park. We are so excited to see the engagement this will bring to our community! 

Some of the ideas we have for 2025 include constructing Pickleball Courts and helping with the Pedestrian Bridge at Sarah T. Bolton Park! Let us know what you'd love to see!
