WILS

Isolation can impact health just as much as physical barriers.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑Connection matters.
🗨️Conversation matters.
🤝Feeling included matters.

WILS believes emotional wellness and community connection are important parts of independent living too. https://www.findhelp.org/

💪🌳 When United Way of Pettis County put out the call for volunteers during their Day of Action on June 13, the WILS Transportation Team didn't hesitate.

Their answer? "Yes, we can!"

Our team rolled up their sleeves, brought the muscle, and tackled the task head-on—loading and unloading five truckloads of tree limbs to help make a difference in the community.

We're proud of these team members for not only working hard but also bringing positive attitudes and a willingness to serve. Community impact happens when people step up, and this crew did exactly that.

Thank you to United Way of Pettis County for organizing another great Day of Action and to our WILS Transportation Team for representing WILS so well!

Accessibility benefits everyone.
When communities remove barriers, everyone gains more opportunities to participate, connect, and thrive.
Inclusion isn’t extra.
It’s essential.

"On the road again..." 🎶
These Bucket List Club members are on their way for a day of fun and they don't have to worry about a thing. Accessible transportation and a friendly driver make for a care-free time with friends. WILS provides the tools to help individuals stay safe, independent, and active in their community. And that's what it's all about!

Sometimes the biggest victories seem small to everyone else.

No organization changes communities alone. Real impact happens when nonprofits, healthcare providers, volunteers, businesses, and neighbors work together.

Partnerships help communities become stronger, more connected, and more accessible for everyone. Every hour of every day, residents of the 23 counties surrounding Kansas City call United Way 211 or look to 211KC.org in search of essential human services.

Many veterans face barriers that aren’t always visible.

Mobility challenges.
Isolation.
Transportation barriers.
Difficulty navigating systems.

WILS is proud to support veterans with the tools, connections, and support systems that help preserve dignity and independence. https://ow.ly/gihj50Z4l3F

Home is more than a place.

It’s familiarity.
Comfort.
Memories.
Independence.

WILS helps older adults and individuals with disabilities remain safely connected to their homes and communities whenever possible. Because independence often starts at home.

Advocacy changes communities.

🚪Every accessible entrance.
🏢Every inclusive event.
🚧Every barrier removed.
📣Every voice heard.

Progress happens when people speak up and communities listen. WILS remains committed to advocating for accessibility, inclusion, and equal opportunity across rural Missouri.
