When a social worker, school, or agency partner submitted a need, local churches, businesses and individuals responded.

Here’s what that looked like for children and families in 2026, and how you can help carry it into 2027.

Because community isn’t just something we feel, but something we do.

Together.

This year, Wisconsin neighbors kept saying yes.
