Washer and Dryer Donations

VLC shared 3 sets of washers and dryers this last month! Two of the families were families we received from Human Services. One was the family where both the mom and dad are in the reserves. (The husband has served 2 tours in Iraq). This is the third set shared. This set, along with a beautiful dining table and chairs were shared by a VLC volunteer. VLC arranged a match with the Hebron House. They picked it up and are using them in the new overflow homeless shelter that they recently opened in Waukesha for the winter months.

January's Project- A Family Visitation Room Make Over

Our goal was to create a positive environment for 2 Family Visitation rooms at Human Services. These rooms are used for supervised visits for parents and their children who are living in Foster Care, or in the care of relatives. It is a place where families who are in crises can stay connected. VLC had some very different requests on the 'wish list' and to our amazement, volunteers came forward with children's tables and chairs, lobby chairs, a loveseat, bookshelves, children's toys and family games, area rugs and artwork. Your kindness and generosity made these rooms warm and cozy, and life a little bit better for the families.

January's Client

We delivered to Jamie, who had lost her job, her apartment and then everything she had which was in a storage locker and she didn't have the money to pay her bill. She has a new job, and new apartment and a new start. You shared a couch, 2 chairs, a kitchen set, bed, and chest of drawers along with dishes, pots and pans, kitchen utensils, kitchen and bath towels. She had been in an empty apartment for weeks prior to our delivery, so she was so excited, and so grateful for these gifts when they were delivered. Thank you!
