Focused on helping senior citizens in central Indiana, the Central Indiana Senior Fund is doing just that with its recent granting of more than $715,000 to local nonprofits that  serve seniors.

The CISF, a special interest fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, recently named 25 groups, including several nonprofits in Hamilton County, that will benefit.

CrossRoads Church of Westfield received $10,000. The money will be used to pay for home repairs for senior-owned homes across the county for the church’s Hoosier Home Repairs 2020 program. The church will host a camp that will allow approximately 300 middle and high school students to spend a week repairing homes and building relationships with the homeowner.

Hamilton Area Neighborhood Development, a Noblesville-based nonprofit that works to provide affordable housing, received $17,500, which also will be used for home repairs.

Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County received $25,000 to help fund its Sponsor-A-Senior meals program.
