Wishing Well Fund Inc.: Helping Families and Fighting Hunger
Wishing Well Fund Inc. is a not-for-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to serving families and individuals in need throughout Indianapolis, Indiana. Founded in 1972, our mission is to provide a helping hand to those facing challenges, promote food security, and empower our community through collaboration.
Direct Assistance to Families:
Since our beginnings, Wishing Well Fund has proudly assisted over 7,500 families in need. To ensure we’re reaching those facing the greatest challenges, we rely on referrals from trusted community partners. These referrals can come from social workers, schools, churches, and other social and charitable organizations who are familiar with the specific needs of their clients.
Once a referral is received, we work closely with the referring agency to verify the need and determine the most appropriate form of assistance.
By working collaboratively with these community partners, we can ensure our resources are directed towards those who will benefit the most.
Spreading Holiday Cheer:
The holiday season is a time for togetherness, but not everyone has the resources to celebrate. Every Christmas, Wishing Well Fund delivers food baskets to approximately 150-170 families. These baskets are filled with enough food to last for several days, along with special treats for the children.
Supporting the Bigger Picture:
In addition to our direct services, Wishing Well Fund understands the importance of collaboration. We are proud to support other charitable organizations in Indianapolis that share our mission of aiding those in need. This includes food banks, homeless shelters, and food kitchens.
