More than 170 team members of Wildman Business Group’s various locations participated in a first annual day of service, committing 605 serve hours on February 23, 2024, according to a news release.
Giving back and changing lives is a major part of Wildman’s culture. This vision is cast by 3rd generation CEO Josh Wildman and adopted at all levels within the organization. Wildman’s team members donated 605 serve hours, partnering with organizations in Warsaw, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Indianapolis, Griffith, and Holland, Michigan.
Wildman thanked the community partners who gave them the opportunity to serve:
Animal Welfare League | Baker Youth Club of Warsaw | Boys & Girls Club | Community Harvest | Community Kitchen | Food Bank of Northern Indiana | Food Club | Habitat for Humanity of Kosciusko County | Hope PKGS | IKUS Enrichment | Kids Food Basket | Kosciusko Senior Services
| Magical Meadows | Mission 25 of Columbia City | Nestling Diapers | Phil’s Friends of Crown Pointe | Resale Store | Shepherd Community Center
The company thanked all Wildman customers for their understanding while the Wildman team was out of office to give back. Wildman’s 4-day workweek for service and production allows opportunities like this to happen.
The idea for a Day of Service came about as way to honor Wildman’s founder Rex Wildman. He had no reservations when it came to life, business, or serving others whether as a pilot in World War II, in his local church, as a city councilman, or as an entrepreneur and philanthropist. This was the mindset on which Wildman was founded, so the company honors Rex Wildman in this way.
