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. 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.
Community partners that Wildman helped serve were:
• 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
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. Rex was an “all in” type of man. 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.
