    How Edna Martin Christian Center and Shepherd Community Center Empower Indy’s East Side
    Oct 13 2025
    Four years ago, a bold idea took root: what if philanthropy could break down barriers rather than create dependency? That idea sparked a powerful partnership between Edna Martin Christian Center and Shepherd Community Center, helping Eastside Indy neighbors move from just any job to better jobs — and into lasting careers. In this special live episode of Big Hearted Indy, hosts Greg Enas, Don Palmer, and Chris Spangle talk with Brittany Keno (Edna Martin) and Andrew Green (Shepherd) about their collaborative “barrier-busting” approach, how faith drives their community work, and what happens when organizations serve with neighbors, not for them. Hear real stories of transformation, the impact of Citizen 7’s job fund, and why relationship—not handouts—is the key to lasting change.
