2025 Grant Recipient Highlight!

Due in part to support from the Kenosha Community Foundation, the Wisconsin Humane Society’s Kenosha Campus Community Support Services achieved incredible local impact:

• 4,756 stray and surrendered pets provided with temporary shelter and care
• 1,909 adoptions completed
• 891 lost pets reunited with their families
• 1,944 community pets provided with low-cost vaccines
• 599 spay/neuter surgeries completed to help prevent pet overpopulation

Way to go, Wisconsin Humane Society!

One pet impacted by this support was Peggy, a nervous stray pup who arrived at WHS with painful sores caused by anxiety-related licking. WHS veterinarians and behavior staff helped Peggy heal and regain confidence before she found a forever home with her adopter, Sam, who now says, “She is a very happy girl, and she is doing great!”

2025 Grant Recipient Highlight!

KCF funding supports the Kenosha Literacy Council’s Community Connections ELL Civics Program, where 30 adult learners complete 60+ hours of instruction and work to advance at least one educational level.

Students complete vocabulary and “life skills” assessments while practicing skills in the community—visiting the public library to get library cards, going to a bank to learn how to open accounts, practicing using the drive-thru, and touring a pharmacy. They’ve also met first responders and attended a city council meeting as part of civic learning.

“I was proud because I was able to talk to my supervisor in English to solve a problem at work. I could never do that before.” — 2025 Community Connections ELL Civics Class Learner
