Thank you, Bassett Mechanical, for this generous gift and for recognizing that recovery takes time. 💙

Giving Back to Our Community!

We are proud to share that our recent customer appreciation event, Shooters Showcase, raised more than $4,500 for the United Way Fox Cities Tornado Relief Fund.

Each year, Shooters Showcase hosts a raffle benefiting a charitable cause. This year, our committee selected the Tornado Relief Fund to help individuals and families impacted by the July Fox Valley tornado.

This contribution was made possible by the generosity of our sponsors, customers, and associates, who came together for a day of connection, friendly competition, and community support.

This contribution is in addition to Bassett Mechanical's $100,000 donation made in August to support local recovery efforts.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make a meaningful difference. Together, we're helping our communities recover, rebuild, and move forward.

Earlier this summer, the diaper bank was on track to run out of newborn, size 5, and size 6 diapers by July. We’ve continued steady distribution days because of our generous community!

Thank you to the organizations that hosted diaper drives this summer:

Festival Foods
Badger Globe Credit Union
ProCon
Bassett Mechanical
Neenah Public Library
Appleton Public Library
Elisha D. Smith Public Library
Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce
Johnson Financial Group
Thrivent (happening now!)

While we’re grateful for how far we’ve come, the need continues. Size 5 and size 6 diapers remain the most-requested sizes.

As Diaper Need Awareness Week comes to a close, thank you for making an often overlooked need a little more visible.

Families continue navigating repairs, insurance gaps, lost income, and other costs that are piling up after everything they've already been through.

Because of your generosity, more than 500 households have received financial assistance through the Community Response Fund. At the same time, LEAVEN Fox Cities and People of Progression are still working through 600+ additional requests and appointments.

A donor just stepped forward with $500,000 knowing that recovery is far from over. All $5 million of the Community Response Fund has been committed to recovery efforts, and 100% of your gift helps tornado-affected households.

affects nearly half of U.S. families with young children. Without enough diapers, babies are exposed to health risks, parents miss out on work & wages, & children are unable to participate in early education.

The Kimberly-Clark Eastern Wisconsin Diaper Bank helps diapers reach families who need them through a network of amazing partners.

Getting help is brave, and every child deserves a healthy start. 💙

**As we recognize Diaper Need Awareness Week, we're especially grateful for donations of size 5 and 6 diapers, which are always in high demand.

In Wisconsin, more than 1/3 of households are struggling financially. It’s easy to assume that saving money is just about budgeting better.

But many ALICE families have already cut back where they can. The cost of living keeps rising, while paychecks aren’t keeping up.

When we move past our assumptions, we can focus on solutions that will help our hardworking neighbors.
