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/
