Indianapolis Collection Agency Feeds the Needy
(CSRwire) INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Pyramid Financial Solutions
(www.pyramidfinancialsolutions.com
), an Indianapolis-based Collection and Receivables Management Company, is
donating their time this week to assist Wheeler Mission Ministries to
serve meals to the under-privileged. Pyramid encourages staff to
participate in this and other charities by compensating staff with Paid
Time Off equaling their time donated. Tom Lane, President of Pyramid,
states: "It is very important to give back and donate as much as we can in
our community especially during these difficult economic times. Inflated
gas prices have affected everything that consumers buy and many people are
in desperate need of help right now. Pyramid can't solve the faltering
economy but we can make individualized efforts in the right direction. In
addition, the collection industry is typically perceived negatively when
in reality it's the counseling by our staff that helps consumers avoid
Bankruptcy by working with them to resolve their financial
difficulties."
Wheeler Mission Ministries is a non-denominational, Christian, social
services organization, which provides critically needed goods and services
to homeless, poor and needy of Central Indiana. Wheeler Mission was founded
in 1893, making it the oldest continually operating ministry of its kind in
the State of Indiana. While Wheeler is not a Church, it does work closely
with many churches and has a faith-based approach to the services it
provides.
The Wheeler emergency housing services offer meals, showers, chapel
services, clothing, and pediatric medical and dental services. During the
cold winter months, Wheeler adjusts the temporary residence rules to help
individuals stay out of the dangerously cold weather. The Care Center
provides a safe environment for homeless women and children, while the
Hebron Center is dedicated to the spiritual rehabilitation of alcoholics,
drug addicts, and their families. The Innovative Learning Center offers
specialized computer programs that help Wheeler residents gain the
necessary education and computer literacy needed to successfully reenter
the community. To find out how you can help contact Wheeler at http://www.wheelermission.org/.
