Community Services/Non-Profits in Oconomowoc, WI

“Absolutely amazing place was my first time and everyone was so friendly and they give you a lot I'm very thankful for the staff that work there and people who donate”

“I was in need of help for an injured heron in my yard. I called Wildlife in Need Center and had to leave a message. I was assuming it would be a long time, if ever, that I was called back. To my surprise it was prompt and I instructed on the correct next steps, including to bring the bird in for care if possible. They did not have anyone available to make the transport so I did it myself, gladly. They were efficient and accepted the bird quickly and with obvious interest in helping it be rehabbed and hopefully returned to nature. If they can't do that they will find a place in education or local support for the bird to live out its life.
I gladly left a donation to help cover the costs of my bird's treatment. When we were leaving we saw a rescued turtle being given fresh air by a volunteer, and even watched a baby squirrel being fed.
Not all animals can be taken to the Center, and a phone call is important before just showing up. They showed great compassion and knowledge and I felt really hopeful that they can help my bird recover well. If this is not possible, I am comfortable knowing they will have done their best and made sure the bird, and all animals in their care are treated humanely in all ways.”

“I love the Y. They have such fantastic exercise classes and instructors. The pool is really nice to visit as a family. They also strive to help the community. They have programs and job opportunities for those with special needs that provides a dignified job to work. Employees are really friendly. I can’t imagine my life without the Y. It provides so much meaning and enables me to be healthier.?”
