Congratulations to Wheeler Mission!

We were honored to celebrate the grand reopening of Wheeler Mission Bloomington following a nearly $4 million renovation and expansion of its Center for Men.

Wheeler Mission has served individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty for more than 130 years and has been part of the Bloomington community since 2015. The expanded facility provides additional space for case management and programming, greater work-readiness opportunities, improved access for healthcare and community partners, enhanced safety and dignity for guests, and a new kitchen to support the work happening each day.

This investment goes beyond meeting immediate needs by creating more opportunities for individuals to move toward stability, employment, housing, recovery, and greater independence.

Congratulations to the Wheeler Mission team, supporters, volunteers, and community partners who helped make this project possible.
