WARSAW, Ind. — Wildman Business Group, which provides uniform rental, mats, cleaning services, and more, reports that more than 170 team members at its various locations participated in an inaugural Day of Service on Feb. 23.

Giving back and changing lives is a major part of Wildman’s culture, the company says. This vision is cast by third-generation CEO Josh Wildman and adopted at all levels within the organization.

The team members provided 605 service hours, partnering with organizations in Warsaw, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Indianapolis, and Griffith, Indiana, and Holland, Michigan.

The community partners Wildman team members served include:

• 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 thanks its community partners for the opportunity to serve and all its customers for their understanding while the team was out of the office to give back. 

The company says its four-day workweek for service and production allows opportunities like this to happen. 

The idea for a Day of Service came about as a way to honor Wildman’s founder Rex Wildman. The company shares that 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. 

“This was the mindset on which Wildman was founded, so honoring Rex Wildman in this way more than seven decades later felt right,” the company says. 

“Wildman encourages you to have a ‘No REXervations’ mindset when it comes to serving others. If you are an employer, we invite you to host your own day of service.”
