Center for Women & Children- Indy
Who We Are
Serving Women and Children Experiencing Homelessness
We provide Christ-centered programs and services for the homeless and those in need. Our services take a holistic approach to our local homelessness community by providing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual help.
“Come to me, all you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Begun in the early 1990’s by a group of concerned businessmen, the Care Center merged with Wheeler Mission Ministries in 2001. In 2009, the Care Center was renamed the Center for Women & Children (CWC). This location provides an environment that is safe physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Hundreds of women and mothers with children enter our doors seeking food, clothing, and housing, but they also experience love and compassion, bringing rest for their weary souls.
National studies indicate that the fastest-growing segment of the homeless population consists of women and women with children, making the services offered at the CWC imperative to our community. We would love for you to partner with us by volunteering. You can see all of the CWC volunteer opportunities here.
Homeless Services
We offer women and women with children a 30-day program designed to assist them 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.
Residential Programs
Our 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.
Addiction Recovery
Addiction is a common experience for women caught in the cycle of homelessness. Our Higher Ground program is unique in that its focus is total healing through a relationship with Christ.
