About CAFE
CAFE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that offers direct aid to Indianapolis’ Far Eastside residents. The crown jewel of the community is the Far Eastside Neighborhood Center, which opened in 2002. In addition to housing CAFE’s offices, the Center is a gathering place for people of all ages, providing recreational and educational activities while serving as a community hub with in-house partners/tenants like Head Start, La Plaza, WIC, and the Damien Center.
