Wheeler Mission was founded in 1893 by a group of women who wanted to help the poor by providing food, shelter, and life-skills training. More than a century later, Wheeler Mission continues to provide long-term solutions to poverty and homelessness.
Homeless services offer men, women, and mothers with children meals, lodging, clothing, and shower facilities. Case management, job and housing procurement, access to legal aid, educational opportunities, counseling, and medical clinics are also available.
Residential programs provide temporary housing and case management for the working poor and those experiencing adverse situations, such as mental health issues or recent incarceration.
Addiction recovery programs enable men and women to break free from drug and alcohol dependence.
All of our guests receive intentional spiritual training throughout their stay with us. Thousands of people receive food, shelter, and care at Wheeler Mission throughout the year.
