Healthy Families contacted us about a client with a urgent need and we were able to help thanks to your generosity! A mom, dad and their new baby girl had just moved into a new apartment... life couldn't be better they thought...then they received the call that the husbands 2 boys were coming to live with them! They were so excited....but they needed 2 twin beds and a dresser ASAP. We delivered them, along with linens and a beautiful table and chairs for their growing family in a few days time! Thank you for these beautiful donations, they were so grateful. This was a very special family....

Learning to help others can begin at a very young age!
Thanks to the Oconomowoc Junior Women's Club Kids Who Can! They received a grant and wanted to do something special for the VLC Clients of the Month Project. They used the money to fill 16 beautiful wicker baskets with cleaning products, kitchen utensils, kitchen towels and plasticware, and then presented them to VLC. We will be sharing them each month when we deliver.
