For many ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families, access to extracurricular activities, job training, mentorship programs, and educational opportunities can be limited by financial challenges. By investing in youth, we're helping build brighter futures for tomorrow.

Together, with the support of local United Ways, we can all help ensure every child has the support, resources, and opportunities they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

To everyone impacted by the recent storms, please know that our hearts are with you ❤. Your safety and well-being matter, and every damage report helps communities better understand where support is needed most. Even if your damage seems minor, please take a few minutes to submit a report.

If your home was damaged, please don't assume someone already knows ⚠️

The information you share through your damage report / 211 helps our community understand where help is needed most.

IF YOU CANNOT LEAVE YOUR HOME for any reason, please call 211. Our community is working to bring immediate supplies like food, water, hygiene products, and other essentials to neighbors who need them while longer-term recovery support is being coordinated.

Online damage reports can be completed at https://211wisconsin.communityos.org/damage-report.
