Mary Wheeler Circle

In 1893, Mary Wheeler and a small group of women founded and operated a refuge for neighboring women in desperate need, a refuge known today as Wheeler Mission. Their legacy of female philanthropy and service lives on in the Mary Wheeler Circle, an association for women to help other women.

If you want to make a difference in the lives of other women, you’ve come to the right place!

Service

Members can serve in a variety of ways that are easily tailored to their schedule for any phase of life. There are chances to serve together with other members or serve with family, from home, or even through prayer.

Advocacy

Members have the opportunity to learn about topics relating to the work happening at the Center for Women & Children. Training opportunities throughout the year include subjects like trauma-informed care, grace-based care, and mental health. These are designed to grow understanding of the complexities of poverty and homelessness and increase advocacy.

Grant Process

Members give an annual gift and 100% is allocated for our Mary Wheeler Circle grant fund. The pledges from all members are pooled together and each fall, the Center for Women & Children staff submit grant proposals for MWC members to vote on. We announce the grant recipients at our Night of Celebration, which is a beautiful night of generosity and excitement that bridges the gap between the Mary Wheeler Circle members and front-line staff. (There are two giving levels, $500 or $1,000, that can be paid out over the whole year. We also have scholarships available!)

Fall is almost here, and so are opportunities to support Mary Wheeler Circle and Wheeler Mission.

Take a look at our opportunities and how you can participate in helping those experiencing homelessness in Indiana:

✨ Attend our Night of Celebration (spots are dwindling!)

✨ Sign up for a trunk at the CWC’s Fall Festival Trunk or Treat!

✨ Be sure to have given your annual pledge for the grant cycle. The grant cycle closes at the end of this month.

✨ PRAY for our staff and guests.

Those who find themselves experiencing homelessness or other hardships don’t often get a vacation from their reality. Whatever brings someone to the doors of Wheeler Mission is cause for prayer, support, and intentional service.

As you begin, go through, and end your day, please keep our staff and guests in your thoughts and prayers and consider other ways you can get involved to make an impact.
