Celebrating 160 Years in Oxford Hills

This award comes at a special time for us. We’re celebrating 160 years in Oxford Hills and 5 years as an employee-owned co-op. The last five years, in particular, have transformed our agency in exciting ways. By becoming employee-owned, we’ve strengthened our community connection and enhanced how we serve and protect what matters most to you.

Each of us at Wheelers brings a unique blend of personality, perspective, and passion to the work we do—and it shows, not only in the insurance services we offer but also in our commitment to giving back to our community.

Making an Impact, Together

In the past few years, we’ve been honored to partner with incredible local initiatives and programs:

  • Partnering with Stars and Strikes, we gathered over 30 businesses to raise more than $15,000 for Cents for Kids, a SAD17 program originally funded by teachers.
  • Through Make A Wish Maine, we were able to grant a wish to a child, a moment we will always cherish.
  • We’ve raised and donated over $15,000 for Team Hailey Hugs, a nonprofit supporting childhood cancer initiatives.
  • We launched a fundraiser for SAD44 to ensure that all children in the area have access to essential items they may need.
  • Our Referral Rewards Program has supported dozens of nonprofits throughout the years.

Additionally, our employees are given paid volunteer time to get hands-on in the community, working with organizations like Mission Working Dogs, Pink Feather Foundation, local gardens, blood drives, DECA Craft Fair, animal shelters, and schools like SAD17 and SAD44. We truly believe in rolling up our sleeves and being part of the change we want to see.

At Wheelers Insurance, it’s more than just protecting what matters most to you. It’s about giving back, creating positive change, and growing alongside our community. We are deeply honored to have received this award, and we remain dedicated to doing the good work that defines who we are—now and for generations to come.
