Last week, our team had an incredible time connecting with students, families, and school staff at the Racine Unified Open House! We were proud to host tables at Julian Thomas, Knapp, and Red Apple elementary schools—three wonderful school communities where we will be supporting students before and after school throughout the year.

We are excited for the opportunities ahead and look forward to creating safe, engaging spaces where students can learn, grow, build friendships, and discover their potential.
This important work would not be possible without the commitment and partnership of United Way of Racine County and Racine Community Foundation.

Together, we are investing in brighter futures and making a meaningful difference—one student at a time!
