If you’re a current resident or contemplating a move to Wylie
Texas, and your desire is to Make A Difference, be assured that
there is ample opportunity to do so.
 
There are 20 churches located in Wylie proper in which you can
volunteer your time to help others. Most if not all, depending on
size, have vehicles to give both financial or sustenance aid to
people and families in need in the community. And, with those
you have an option to donate to them, or you can participate as
a volunteer and/or expediter to dispense those goods.
 
The City of Wylie has a program called Reach for a Star, which is
designed to assist families during the holiday season. It is an out-
reach program supported by the Wylie ISD, community churches,
and local businesses and organizations. The City also works in
partnership with The Christian Care Center on Ballard Street.
While Reach for a Star program makes toys and clothing available,
The Christian Care Center provides families in need, and seniors,
with food and other services year round. So donations of money,
food, and time are well spent here.
 
The City of Wylie also has The Bart Peddicord Community Center.
The center is located in the old Wylie Post Office building on Oak
street and is open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday, it houses the Wylie Seniors program and Meals on Wheels.
The seniors program strives to provide Wylie seniors with
fellowship and other activities. The center can also be rented for
for meetings or special events.
 
Also provided is Collin County Area Rural Transit (CCART) which
is a non-profit division of the Collin County committee on Aging,
and has been in existence for 25 years. Funding is provided by
Federal, State, and local governments, The United Way, and fares/
donations along with contracts for service. Their vehicles range
from Mini/Maxi vans and are accessible to those who are riders
in wheel chairs. All vehicles are ‘curb to curb’ services and radio
dispatched. The CCART drivers are not allowed to enter private
residences or leave their vehicles unattended.
 
Along with the area’s mentioned above there are a number of
benevolent/global organizations which either have offices to
representatives here in Wylie. Some of those are; 1. The Ancient
Free and Accepted Masons East Fork Lodge founded in February
of 1887… 2. The Caanon Foundation -  which provides computers
to African Nations for educational purposes…3. Challenged
Sportsman of America -  providing handicap awareness through
education and participation in outdoor activities… 4. Rockwall
School of Music - a Kindermusik Education with excellent programs
for ages birth through 7 years. If you are an accomplished musician
this is the place for you. These as well as others are available, you
will just have to research the area for your niche.
 
If you have a passion to Make A Difference then that is available
to you in this community. Contact the City of Wylie, The Chamber
of Commerce, local Churches and others and get started today.

Some years back, Wylie was the typical Texas small town.
Everyone knew everyone else and there were no surprises
when it came to things to do or places to go. Times have
changed. Wylie continues to have the small town charm,
but the booming growth in population it’s brought a lot of
new people into the city.

Wylie was created with the newcomer, visitor, and the
occasional old-timer in mind. This article is provided to give
information where our visitors can find current and accurate
information on where to eat, in Wylie.

In short, we want to make it easy for our Wylie residents
and visitors to, eat, and experience Wylie.

Welcome to the Wylie Tx 75098 Blog!
 
My name is Jude Sutton and I am a retired Executive Working Chef
of 32 years, and I have lived in Wylie Texas for about 9 years.

In the year 2000 the census showed the population at 15,000+ and
today it shows at 32,696, it has more than doubled and the projected
population for the end of 2008 is set at 39,000+.

Wylie is shown to be #8 at Forbes as one the fastest growing suburbs
for Dallas Texas.

I felt it was time someone made others aware of this great little town.
