According to the IndyStar, nearly 1,700 people living in Indianapolis sleep in temporary shelters, transitional housing or out on the streets.
Tom Wilhelmi was one of these countless individuals making the transition out of drugs and gambling. He was homeless himself and living on the city streets of Chicago.
Tom was able to piece his life back together and decided to begin a new chapter with his wife, Angie. The couple recently moved to Greenwood, Indiana – but they brought with them their shared passion for pizza.
In their effort to serve up delicious pies while also helping the homeless population in their new city, Tom and Angie opened Agape Pizza.
The Wilhelmis made good on their promise to only hire those who are formerly homeless and living in transitional housing.
“Instead of always being turned down for jobs, here. You’ve got the job. Don’t worry about it,” Angie Wilhelmi told WXIN.
If that isn’t incredible enough, Tom and Angie don’t take paychecks for themselves, either.
