We're so proud to help Bikes for Kids Wisconsin fund their fantastic program, called Meals on 2 Wheels. Along with The River Food Pantry, they use e-cargo bikes to pedal with a purpose to deliver groceries to community members that are not able to travel to the pantry. Thank you for your drive to make our world a better place! 👏

The wonderful people at Logan's Heart and Smiles have created this custom bed using funding from our grant that we awarded earlier this year! We love seeing the results of their much needed work to assist with safety and accessibility for children with disabilities in Wisconsin. 🌈

We are so excited to share that thanks to everyone who supported our Gather for Good event, we raised over $51,000!

With the Widen Family Foundation match, that means we’ll be presenting a check for $103,000 to Porchlight! 💫

It means so much to see our community come together to support such an important organization that works tirelessly to reduce homelessness in Dane County.

We couldn’t do it without you! 💙

WOW! Congratulations to Agrace for raising over $100k at their Golf Outing! We are proud to have donated to them to help fund scholarships for their Future Nurses Fund which awards scholarships to Agrace staff members that are pursing their RN credentials.

Congratulations to one of our partners, Bikes for Kids Wisconsin on their good news shared below! Pretty outstanding, if you ask us! 👏

We are SO excited to share this news with you! Our Crank Up the Comfort Campaign has been running for the past couple of months to raise $75,000 to help us upgrade our heating and cooling and repair our leaky roof. We received a generous donation from several local companies to provide us with proper heating and cooling! 🔥❄️

We're incredibly thankful to these community supporters who jumped in to help make this happen: Home Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning donated the full install services, Lennox donated the HVAC equipment, and Design Air, LLC donated materials for the installation. Electrical work was donated by Beeline Electric. And Porter Construction Management pulled all of these partners together to support our work. 🤝

These donations totaled over $50,000! They all see the value and impact of our work and believe that we should be comfortable while providing this important service to our community. We hope you'll consider using them for your next home project.

Now you have no excuses for not volunteering!🤣🤣

The roof has been partially repaired although last week's leaks made it clear that is is beyond repair. If you would like to support our patchwork that will hold us until we have to relocate in three years, we would greatly appreciate the support!

As proud MG alum, our foundation granted the Monona Grove Education Foundation over $10,000 to help fund this critical program to ensure the students in need have access to food on the weekends. Thank you to all of the dedicated volunteers that help keep this program running! 🫶

𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪? 💰

It takes approximately $38,500 to provide Weekend Snack Packs for one school year for up to 180 Monona Grove students.

That covers 37 weeks of Snack Packs, and it’s only possible because of the incredible generosity of our community.

Thank you to everyone who donates, sponsors, writes grants, organizes fundraisers and helps spread the word. Every dollar helps put food in a student’s backpack. 💙
