INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis has been at the center of a national focus on community service.
For the past few days, the group known as Multiplying Good has marshaled the energy and enthusiasm of hundreds of people focused on improving the lives of others.
Leaders from around the country spread out across Indianapolis lending their hands to a number of service projects, like packing food at Gleaners Food Bank.
The acts of goodwill were among the highlights of the National Celebration of Service.
It's the first time Multiplying Good is holding the event in Indianapolis.
