Empowering Neighbors. Strengthening Community.

For over 50 years, Southeast Community Services has been a trusted partner and unwavering presence for families on Indianapolis’ southeast side. As the community has grown and changed, we’ve remained deeply rooted—committed to showing up with care, consistency, and respect for the neighbors we serve.

Every day, our dedicated staff partners with youth, families, individuals, seniors, immigrants, job seekers, and others facing uncertain circumstances—connecting people to what they need so no one has to navigate challenges alone, whether they’re facing a big life change or simply need a little extra support.
