S.O.A.R. Initiative, Inc. is an Indianapolis, IN based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that works with people experiencing homelessness or crisis due to domestic violence or health issues. We seek to preserve the bond between person and pet, and to remove barriers accessing services that pet ownership can bring. We recognize the huge benefit animals can bring in helping people get healthy, progress, and achieve stability.

We believe when a child is sick, a family is sick and we exist so that families can get better together. We support children and families at five area Ronald McDonald Houses®, three Ronald McDonald Family Rooms® and two Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles®. Each night, we keep 153 families close to the care and resources they need. Allowing families to stay close to their child in the hospital supports the child’s health and well-being while saving our families hotel and food costs.
