Welcome to the City of Fishers Geist Reservoir Cleanup Steward Program.  Trash, debris, and pollutants in the reservoir do not stay in one spot forever: it all moves on to other rivers, lakes, and streams. Even the harmful chemicals found in trash, debris, and pollutants present dangers to all forms of aquatic life. Cleaning up our waterways prevents pollution like plastic waste from reaching our oceans. 80% of plastic waste is carried to oceans via small rivers and streams that flow through densely populated urban areas. Plastic in our waterways can get entangled with wildlife, or can sometimes look like food to them. Do your part by becoming a Geist Reservoir Cleanup Steward and help minimize downstream pollution.

This is an on-demand cleanup program to remove trash from Geist Reservoir.  The trash drop-off location for this program is at the Northeast corner of Geist Waterfront Park at the end of an old ramp and is designated on the selection map in the link below.  The City will monitor the trash drop location and remove trash from the site on a regular basis, but we will not be present at the time of your arrival.  You are allowed to drop off any kind of trash that you find that you can fit within your boat.  Typical types of trash include buoys, dock floats, polystyrene, paper, metals, plastics, chairs, floatable trash, signs, logs, etc.  There are two options per below: 

1.  Boat Owners:  If you have your own canoe, kayak, pontoon, speed boat, or fishing boat and want to participate in the program, select your steward location/cove from our selection map in the link below, launch your boat from your preferred location at one of the marinas or from your personal dock, and drop off the trash at the marked trash drop location as indicated on the selection map.  The City will monitor the trash drop location and remove trash from the site on a regular basis.  The trash drop location will be marked with a sign and visible from the water and has a GPS coordinate of 85.9108378 degrees west and 39.9492044 degrees north. 

2. Non-boat Owners:  If you don’t own a boat and still want to participate, simply select one of our land-based cleanup locations on the selection map in the link below and either walk or use your vehicle to get to some of our land-based locations at bridge crossings, etc.  All land-based accessible trash can be disposed of at any one of the nearby City park locations that have accessible trash dumpsters such as Brooks School Park, Geist Waterfront Park, or Olio Fields or you may choose to dispose of the trash at your home location if the quantity is small.

How to get involved: If you would like to participate in the Geist Cleanup Steward program, Please Click Here to select your steward location from our selection map. In addition, please click the blue "respond" button for this opportunity. Amy Crell, City of Fishers Volunteer Coordinator, will reach out with more information. If you would like the City of Fishers to supply trash bags and work gloves, please contact Ava Hiatt at hiatta@fishersin.gov to schedule a pickup at Fishers Municipal Complex at 1 Municipal Drive.

Reward: Upon completing their first trash pickup, Geist Cleanup Stewards are eligible to claim one of the following free coupons:

To claim your coupon, please email Ava Hiatt (hiatta@fishersin.gov) with a picture of you with your trash bag with any part of the reservoir in the background.

Our Food Donation Pick-Up volunteers play a key role in this effort by helping us collect donations from local grocery stores, restaurants, and community partners, ensuring that good food never goes to waste and is redirected to feed those who need it most.

This volunteer role is perfect for individuals who enjoy being out in the community, meeting partners, and knowing their time directly translates into thousands of meals each year. By using their own vehicle and assisting staff with scheduled routes, Food Donation Pick-Up volunteers provide the essential link between donors and our kitchen staff, making it possible to prepare fresh, wholesome meals every single day. The impact is immediate.  Food delivered today may be on a plate within hours, offering comfort and dignity to our guests.

When you serve as a Food Donation Pick-Up volunteer, you become part of a larger mission to transform lives through practical compassion. Every mile driven and every box lifted represents more than logistics—it represents hope, generosity, and community coming together to care for our most vulnerable neighbors.

Here's what a given week of food donation pick-ups would look like:

After each scheduled pick-up route, food donations will be taken to Wheeler Mission--Bloomington's temporary food storage space, One World KitchenShare, located at 2361 W. Rappel Ave., Bloomington, IN 47404.

The NAMI Ending the Silence Volunteer Experience:

NAMI Indiana is currently looking for volunteers for our NAMI Ending the Silence presentation. Ending the Silence (ETS) is a prevention and early intervention program that engages youth, school staff and families in a discussion about mental health. Audience members learn to recognize the early warning signs of mental health conditions and learn what to do if they or someone they know is showing these signs. The chance to hear directly from a young adult with a mental health condition dispels myths, instills a message of hope and recovery and encourages individuals to reduce stigma. Volunteers can get trained to be a lead or young adult presenter. The lead presenter shares an informative presentation via PowerPoint(25 mins), while the young adult presenter shares their journey of recovery (10 mins).

Training:

NAMI Ending the Silence volunteers will go through a self-paced online training. Once the training is completed, volunteers must complete a mock presentation with the NAMI Indiana staff before being cleared to give their first presentation.

Minimum Time Commitment Requirements:

We ask all volunteers to commit to at least 1 presentation per month when applicable.

Program leader qualifications:

Prospective leaders must meet one of the following descriptions: (1) young adult age 18-35 in recovery with a mental health condition; (2) adult who is either a family member or a person with a mental health condition.

Through comprehensive training and the power of lived experience, our volunteers provide active listening, empathy, and support as families and individuals navigate their mental health journeys. Volunteers are asked to complete an application, a NAMI Indiana screening call, complete 8 hours of hybrid training, and fulfill a background check.
