Flanner House

Flanner House is a social services organisation, with a 2-acre farm, bodega, cafe, and orchard serving the Indianapolis community. It started in 1903 as an African-American community service centre and was named for Frank Flanner. When Flanner died in 1912 and the organisation fell on financial hardships, they changed the name from Flanner Guild to Flanner House and added many services with the financial assistance from the Christian Woman's Board of Missions. The organisation continues to assist senior citizens, those in financial straits, families, children and much more.
