History

Circle City Relief settled in the 34th and Meridian community in January of 2010 and has served on the School 60 parking lot every Sunday afternoon since then. We serve approximately 150 people every week with 160 or more rescued Little Caesars Pizzas and over 100 cups of soup. We also provide countless bread, pastry, produce, and clothing items. CCR has served over 624,000 slices of pizza and over 2.4 Million food items over a ten year period.

We connect people to emergency housing, transitional housing, long-term housing, counseling, addiction recovery, detox programs and ultimately to a relationship with Jesus Christ as he is the answer to everything. We live out Matthew 25 where Jesus says, “whenever you did one of these things to those who are overlooked and ignored, the least of these brothers of mine, that was me you did it to me”.

​CCR initially started because of a couple of short-term mission trips Matt and Sandy took to New York with New York City Relief in 2009. Since that start Circle City Relief began a set of services called Relief Services in June of 2019 in an effort to help our friends no longer need the help of organizations or agencies to get by from one day to the next. 

Along the way we have had the privilege of serving alongside thousands of volunteers with like minds and hearts that just want to make a difference in the lives of others. Thanks to Grace Church, Northview Church, Cross Roads Church, ITown Church, New Circle Church, and others for your continued partnerships. We would not be able to do what we do without you. 

A special thanks to our team for directing and guiding Circle City Relief in the direction that God would have it to go.
