SUMMARY:Safe at Home Event
DESCRIPTION:Events\n		\n	« Back to Events \n									\n			Safe at Home Event\n		\n		\n			Kickoff Location:\n		\n	Serving the west side of Indianapolis\, 46222 \n	Safe at Home is a high-impact\, half-day of service to low-income senior homeowners over the age of 60 in Indianapolis. Volunteers help make their homes and yards safe and accessible for daily living. Every year CICOA and community volunteers provide home safety modifications and yard cleanup projects to a central Indiana community. \nThe event occurs during National Fall Prevention Awareness Month. Please join us in our community outreach to help prevent costly and dangerous falls among seniors. \n											\n			Schedule:7:30 a.m. Registration opens and breakfast available8:15 a.m. Brief Kickoff Program8:30 a.m. Travel to homes and complete projects12:00 p.m. Event concludes (or earlier if projects are finished) 		\n			\n	Volunteer at Safe at Home\nEach year about 150 volunteers help with home modifications\, yard cleanup\, visiting with homeowners and event logistics. Volunteers make a difference by making homes and yards safe and accessible for daily living and helping to prevent falls. There are opportunities to volunteer at the Safe at Home event as a sponsor or community partner. \nFor the health and safety of the vulnerable seniors we serve as well as our volunteers\, we will limit the number of volunteers inside each home. \nVolunteers must be 12 or older\, and minors (ages 12-17) must be accompanied by an adult. \n	\n						Volunteer\n					\n	Sponsorships\nJoin us as a sponsor and bring a team of volunteers! We need house sponsors to help with the cost of building materials for the home modifications. Our house sponsors receive a host of benefits and can bring a team of volunteers as well. \nAs our sponsor\, you will receive many benefits that provide visibility before\, during and after the event in recognition of your support. Please join us for this special day! \nFor sponsorship information\, please contact Elizabeth McFarlane at emcfarlane@cicoa.org or (317) 803-6062. \n	\n						Sponsor This Event\n					\n	Donate\nHome repairs and accessibility modifications can be costly\, especially for seniors on a limited income. Your donation not only alleviates the burden of home maintenance costs\, but it also makes a home safer\, preventing falls and costly hospital visits. \n	\n						Donate to Safe at Home\n					\n						\n		\n			2026 Corporate Partners\n		\n			CICOA’s Corporate Partners provide year-round support for services\, programs and events. 		\n		\n			Innovator\n		\n								\n									\n											Chef For Hire\n													\n		\n			Cultivators\n		\n								\n									\n											Careforth\n													\n								\n									\n											Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield\n													\n		\n			300\n		\n			seniors’ homes in Indianapolis served since 2010 		\n		\n			1 in 4\n		\n			Americans age 65 and older falls each year 		\n		\n			$30\,000\n		\n			is the average hospital cost for a fall injury 		\n	“It’s hard for me to do everything on my own\, especially since I’ve lost my spouse and don’t have family.
