This Christmas season, Indy MomsLikeMe.com is teaming up with the Indiana Salvation Army to support those in our community who need help. But we can’t do this alone.

We need YOU. Yes, you. We’re creating an Indy Moms team and we need everyone to take this challenge with us!

There are so many ways you can help.

* First, join our group and help bump our post in the forums. We need cheerleaders!

* Second, become a part of our virtual kettle team. The password is "indymoms" - all lowercase.
Every little bit helps. No contribution is too small. But if each of us would give $5.50 a week, we could help the Salvation Army reach its goal. Think about it. That’s lunch money. I’ll gladly give up my lunch money one day a week to provide shelter to a woman fleeing domestic violence. Are you with me?

* Third, rock the Circle with us from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12.
That’s right. Our Mom Squad is going to ring bells for the Salvation Army kettle outside of the Emmis Communications building on Monument Circle during the 2009 WIBC Radiothon.  Stop by and ring with us, or volunteer to help out with the Radiothon (there’s even a free MLM T-shirt in it for you!).

They really need help with the Radiothon on Sunday, Dec. 13. If you can donate an hour of your time, please contact Elizabeth at 224-1010. Tell her you're an IndyMom, that way I can make arrangements to get your MLM T-shirt for you.

UPDATE 11/16: The need is GREAT this year, ladies. We've been asked if we can help support the toy drive. It turns out we'll be ringing bells on the Circle the day before the drive ends. So, if you're going to join us to ring bells, it would be great if you could also bring an unwrapped toy to donate. I'm personally looking at other ways I can help the toy drive, and maybe you could too. For example, my church has a huge women's event Dec. 8, and I'm going to see if we can get everyone to bring a toy. Let me know if you have any other ideas on how we can help the toy drive.

Together, we can make a difference. Come on, Indy Moms. Who's in?

I cannot wait!  We had so much fun last year.  DS still talks about it, especially everytime we go downtown!

I would like to help, whatever is needed??? Also my ds will be 4, but he is a "giver" and loves to do things for other people, could he come too? Would there be anything for him to do? Sorry for all the questions, but ive never done anything like this, sounds great!

This year is going to be amazing - tons of fun for kids!

The Salvation Army band will be on the Circle with us and playing Christmas carols. They're also going to bring out the Cantine, which goes out to disaster locations, and they're going to let the kids tour it and have hot chocolate. They also get a little badge from the tour.

And, of course, there will be bells for the kids to ring!

I can just envision all of our Indy Moms and kiddos out there in a sea of pink singing Christmas carols and raising money for this wonderful cause. I'm so excited!

Epha, what are the times for the bell-ringing?  Our secular humanist group's monthly MNO is for that day (at least, so far that's the plan), so maybe we can join you for a bit prior.

Do we just show up or do we have to sign-up for the desired times? How long is each block? Where do we park?

Delainey and I will be there officially this year.  She still has her bell from last year, she loved visiting with Katie and "Baby Will".   Hopefully Santa will be cruising the circle on his bike again this year!

 My self and my oldest son will love to come down and ring a bell for a few hours.  I think this sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to help out.

I am in.  I will mention this to my DH and see if the whole family would like to help out. Is that ok? This is my favorite time of year and giving back is so important. I have been on the recieving end with my first marriage and going threw that bitter divorce. I always try to pay it back when possible.  Its my turn to pay it back.
