Lentil…Chicken & Wild Rice…Broccoli Cheddar…Butternut Squash…it’s soup season! And Froedtert Hospital’s Case Management team gave our guests a taste of all of the above—and more—on a recent chilly evening.

And the desserts! Snickerdoodles, chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter balls and pumpkin cheesecake were all on the menu.

A hearty, home-cooked meal is just what the doctor ordered for so many of our guests. What an incredible way to show our guests some love.

Thank you, Froedtert Case Management!

Fall is the time when bakers head back to the kitchen, and Kathy’s House is reaping the benefits!

Most recently, our Office Manager Robina’s niece Zoe signed up to make homemade scones for our guests, on her birthday to boot!

The scones were a delicious treat, but what made them especially sweet was knowing that Zoe chose to spend part of her birthday doing something kind for others.

Thank you, Zoe, for sharing your baking talents and your special day with our guests!

Leave it to Steve!
Always friendly and helpful at the welcome desk, volunteer Steve is just as willing to tackle the behind-the-scenes jobs that keep Kathy’s House running smoothly.

This time we found him outside methodically attaching sliders to our dining chairs to keep them from scratching the floors.

We're grateful to Steve for his willingness to pitch in wherever he's needed. Thank you, Steve, for all that you do!

Homemade chocolate cherry cake!
This special delivery, just for our staff, arrived courtesy of former guests Kathie and Ken.

The accompanying note reads: “A small token of appreciation for your amazing hospitality and kindness. Never underestimate the difference you’ve made and the lives you’ve touched.”

Though Keegan and Megan were the ones photographed with the cake, our entire staff was grateful for the recognition and the yummy treat!

Thank you, Kathie and Ken, for thinking of us!

There’s nothing like a nacho bar to warm up a cold day!
Staff members Tracy and Megan took the lead on lunch on a recent rainy afternoon. They cooked up a big batch of seasoned ground beef to serve alongside all the fixins for some seriously LOADED nachos.

The result was a hit with guests! For families spending long days at the hospital, a home-cooked lunch and a chance to gather around the table are always welcome.

We look forward to hosting another nacho bar soon!

Few people know that better than Dale Rabas, who has volunteered with Kathy’s House since the very beginning. In the final installment of our 25th anniversary video series, Dale reflects on the spirit of collaboration that has brought people together around our mission for a quarter century.

Thank you, Dale, for being one of those people from day one.

35 hats! Each one handcrafted with love and delivered to our door by Lynne P., just in time for cooler weather.

Warm hats are useful to our guests year-round, but especially as the temperatures begin to drop. These beautiful creations will be available to anyone who needs a little extra warmth in the months ahead.

We’re grateful to Lynne for her thoughtfulness, generosity and beautiful handiwork. Thank you!

With 38 guest families at Kathy’s House at any given time, we go through a lot of milk!

Volunteer Dana is always eager to help wherever she’s needed. Recently, that meant a trip to the store for a week’s worth of milk. When she returned, she surprised us by announcing that the bill was on her.

It was a simple and generous way to support the families staying at Kathy’s House. Thanks, Dana!
