1. Wheeler Mission Drumstick Dash
The Drumstick Dash is one of Indianapolis’s biggest Thanksgiving traditions. Thousands of residents gather in Broad Ripple to run or walk in support of Wheeler Mission’s programs for individuals experiencing homelessness.
For years, Wheaton Moving & Storage has admired the spirit behind this event—neighbors helping neighbors. It’s a reminder of the importance of community involvement, especially during the holidays.
2. Mozel Sanders Foundation “Feed the Hungry” Meal
The annual Feed the Hungry Thanksgiving dinner brings volunteers, donors, and local organizations together to distribute thousands of meals to Indianapolis families.
As a company rooted in service, we value the work of the Mozel Sanders Foundation and support local initiatives that ensure everyone in our community can enjoy a warm, meaningful holiday meal.
3. Circle of Lights on Monument Circle
The Circle of Lights tree lighting ceremony is the official kickoff to the holiday season in downtown Indianapolis. With live entertainment, festive lights, and family-friendly activities, it’s an event that welcomes both new residents and lifelong Hoosiers.
For families moving to Indianapolis, the Circle of Lights is one of the first traditions that makes the city feel like home—something Wheaton Moving & Storage is proud to help create.
4. Turkey Trails 5K/10K and Weekend Activities
From the Turkey Trails 5K/10K to holiday markets and themed gatherings, Thanksgiving weekend offers plenty of ways to stay active and spend time with loved ones.
These events help local families make memories and build traditions—just as Wheaton helps families settle into new homes where those traditions continue.
