Thank you to Trinity Lutheran Church for your generous donation to help feed our clients’ animals! Dianne Jones delivered an assortment of pet food which was provided by the members of Trinity when they had a Blessing of The Animals. Our pets are an important part of our families and we are happy to provide some food for them, too. Dianne is our director of the “Connections” Program and a consistent volunteer at MFC.

Glenn Kershaw from the Knights of Columbus, Madison/Geneva, brought in personal hygiene items collected by the group. These kind of donations are always appreciated!
The Knights of Columbus have supported us from the beginning of our mission in Madison. Their members have been a big part of the team who unpack the delivery truck and stock the shelves and coolers each Tuesday. We appreciate their dedication to MFC.

Thank you to Superintendent Rambler and Andrea, Assistant to the Superintendent. They arrived early so they spent time helping our co-directors and volunteers stock foods, move the cold foods and other helpful tasks to prepare the center to open for the day. He was also able to spend time in conversation with our clients and volunteers as they arrived. We appreciate the ongoing partnership we have with Madison Local Schools.

Karen Wiley is a Madison Graduate, Class of 1970. She and Mr. Daniel Rambler enjoyed a wonderful conversation today. Thank you Karen for all you do for our community and continually making Madison Local Schools proud.
