Mooresville, IN – A community event in Mooresville is bringing attention to autism awareness this Sunday, offering residents a chance to connect, show support, and take home a free rubber duck.
According to the Mooresville Metropolitan Police Department, the event will take place Sunday, May 3, at Casey’s located at 411 State Road 144 in Mooresville, Morgan County, just southwest of the Indianapolis metro area. The gathering centers around Matthew Hovey, a young adult with autism, who will be handing out rubber ducks throughout the day to raise awareness and promote acceptance.
Police said the rubber ducks are completely free, and the event is designed to encourage meaningful community interaction while spreading a message of inclusion and understanding. Attendees are invited to stop by, grab a duck, and meet Matthew as part of the awareness effort.
The department emphasized that small acts of support can have a significant impact, noting that events like this help bring the community together while highlighting the importance of kindness and acceptance.
The event is expected to run throughout the day Sunday, giving families and residents multiple opportunities to participate. Organizers hope the initiative will not only raise awareness but also foster stronger community ties across Mooresville and surrounding Morgan County areas.
Residents traveling along State Road 144 should not expect major disruptions but may see increased foot traffic near the Casey’s location during peak hours.
