Community Services/Non-Profits near Wildwood, MO

“My family and I have been exercising at the Wildwood YMCA for over 25 Years. We love working out at the Y. The employees are the best, friendly and knowledgeable. The equipment and facility is top notch. However there is one area where I believe we are lacking equipment. That is the machines for hamstrings. There are plenty of leg presses, leg extension machines and calf machines. But there is only one machine for hamstrings. And it is difficult to access as it is in use most of the time. My recommendation is to add one or two more machines for hamstrings. A lying leg curl machine is really needed. By the way the Y use to have a lying leg machine, unfortunately it was removed and not replaced.Thank you for your consideration.George Cobelens”

Let's continue to spread Hope and positive change!Wings of Hope: A Legacy of Compassion Founded in 1963, Wings of Hope has been a beacon of Hope for countless needy communities.

From that moment, Wings of Hope has grown into a global nonprofit, partnering with local organizations in ten countries.Programs That Change Lives Wings of Hope's impact extends across borders and lives. Their Medical Relief and Air Transport Program ensures that over 200 patients and caregivers annually have access to critical medical care within a 900-mile radius of St. Louis.

“JA Biz program that allows 4th & 5th to step into real world situations are so valuable and needed. They do a great job of providing kids a hands on experience of what it is like to work and be financial literate. Invaluable experience that every child should get to partake in!”

“This place is amazing. We left well educated on wolves (and other species) from history to current events. The focus is clearly on always doing what it is best for the animals in their care.Plan to ask lots of questions. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all questions and even adding more information to the conversation. The research and science that goes into everything shows and was great to learn about.I bought tickets a few days in advance and would always recommend doing that as they do sell out.Also, plan to be outdoors for an hour or more to dress accordingly. Hot or cold it’s hard to enjoy the tour if you are uncomfortable. The only restrooms are port a potty so plan accordingly if you don’t prefer to use those.Overall, it was a great experience and am grateful we had the opportunity to visit.”

“Really good set of fields. The umpires are professional and good at their jobs. Their concessions were reasonable priced as the food good. The only drawback was the parking but it wasn't as bad as any other ballfield we have been to.”

“I always buy my reader glasses here. Everyone is so nice here. The cashier is friendly and upbeat. The young lady putting clothes out was very kind. Just a pleasant experience.”
