Volunteering at Drumstick Dash impacts the community around you in so many ways.
Not only are volunteers essential to our events, but they help our greater cause. Here is what our volunteer John Lummis has to say about volunteering for the Drumstick Dash!
"I really enjoy volunteering for Wheeler Mission because why not???? This is a very dedicated local mission changing lives. They deserve the support from the entire Indiana communities, they are right here in their backyard, and have been for many years I move my feet for just that reason.”
We have lots of volunteer opportunities for the Expo and Race Day. Take a look: www.drumstickdash.org/Race/DrumstickDashIndy/Page-119

Join us in June 2025!
Think you can play 100 holes of golf in one day? Let’s find out! 100 Holes for the Homeless is a non-traditional golf outing that raises funds for Wheeler Mission. Participants commit to raising money as their entry fee. Every $500 raised provides one month of meals, shelter, and care for a guest at Wheeler Mission! You can register individually or split the 100 Holes with a partner.
Every act of kindness, big or small, can make a significant difference in the lives of those who are struggling within our community.
By volunteering at Wheeler Mission, you have the opportunity to directly impact and uplift the lives of those in need. Whether you choose to volunteer at our events or within our facilities, your presence will not only bring light and warmth to their days but also provide them with a sense of belonging and support.
