Your Impact
Their Words

  • Menomonie: A partnership with Phillips-Medisize in Menomonie and Eau Claire led to employees sponsoring youth for Christmas last year, which meant our youth had an extra-special Christmas. Additionally, they held a camping gear drive to provide the group home with camping supplies for their annual camping trips. Youth very much look forward to this tradition, and new camping gear means they will have many great camping years ahead.

  • Marathon County: Thank you to the Walmart Spark Grant #0685, which allowed us to purchase fishing gear and materials for a six-person hammock station for our youth to enjoy during the sunny months! Both will provide opportunities to participate in mindful and serene activities that create a peaceful vibe throughout their time with us.
