Where We Serve
Chicktime Indy is proud to serve the Wheeler Mission Center for Women and Children! Wheeler Mission provides Christ-centered programs and services for the homeless and those in need. Their services take a holistic approach to our local homelessness community by providing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual help.
Our Emergency Shelter Services for women and women with children is a 30-day program designed to assist women with basic temporal needs, like meals and shelter, while assessing the factors that led them to homelessness. Whether addiction, mental health, medical, occupational, or educational issues, ladies are encouraged to enter our other long-term programs that can help them with recovery, securing safe housing and employment or mental health care. Their women’s residential programs are designed to address the specific issues that contribute to life instability and, in turn, homelessness. The primary goal of these long-term programs is to walk alongside women and children as they either enter or strengthen their walk with Christ. Their Higher Ground Addiction Recovery Program is unique in that its focus is total healing through a relationship with Christ.
Wheeler Mission has nine different locations in Indianapolis and Bloomington. We offer homeless services, residential programs, and addiction recovery programs for men and women. We also have enterprises – Wheeler Mission Thrift Store, Wheeler Mission Pallets & Industry, and Restored Creations – that help fund our programs. Their vision is to provide Christ-centered programs and services to the homeless and those in need and to see every man, woman and child we serve equipped to be productive citizens who enjoy lasting success in Christ.
