It takes a village to 'wrap up' something this special. 🎁
As we celebrate the success of our 12th Annual Holiday Gift Drive, we’re sending heartfelt thanks to our amazing committee members: Jenny Ellis, Laurie Wohlfiel, Thayre Faust, Taralynn McDonough, and Lynne Romens.
Because of this team and the incredible generosity of our community, 763 children, teens, and adults at Rogers Behavioral Health's Wisconsin locations received holiday gifts.
One member of our treatment team shared: “Residents were actually tearful because they were totally not expecting the gifts and loved what they got.”
Nearly 20 corporate, civic, and school partners hosted gift drives, with countless additional gifts coming from individuals through our Amazon and Faith Factory lists. The most popular items? Fuzzy slippers and socks, gift cards, mindfulness coloring books, and fidgets—simple comforts that made a big difference.
One resident stated, "I felt seen, remembered, and cared for this holiday season! Thank you!" That’s the kind of impact that stays with someone long after the wrapping paper is gone.
