IRC is currently open on Tuesdays 11am-3 pm, Wednesdays 4pm-7pm, Saturdays 11am-2pm, and Sundays from 2pm-6pm. Interested in donating items or volunteering? Contact Patty at (951)609-4366. Donations currently needed are kids clothes, socks, clean undergarments, belts, and microwavable snack foods.
In August of 2022, an idea suggested by then Vice President Hannah Risner, turned into the Indy Resource Center. Hannah was given approval by the HSH Board and COO, Chris Mitchell, to proceed with the project and was given the title of IRC Coordinator. Nine months later, the Freedom House and Indy Recourse Center doors were open for business and brought to our community by people across the nation.
If you want to donate specifically to IRC, write “For Indy Resource Center” in the Memo section of check or donate online and type in the note box at start of donation: “For Indy Resource Center”.
The Independence Reporter took the time to come check out the Indy Resource Center during our open house on Monday, which had a fantastic turn out! Thank you to all who came!! On a side note, we wanted to clarify that the Indy Resource Center is not a ministry of Hannah’s House, it is with Home Sweet Home.

“For Love Independence Day, Indy Resource Center partnered with Hannah’s House, James Eytcheson and many more that came out to make this HUGE project a success! Isn’t it amazing what a little paint and love can do! THANK YOU to all that made this happen! We could not have done it without you 
Here’s to all the lives that will be touched through the Indy Resource Center
