Annual Report to the Community

More than 300 supporters, volunteers, and agency partners joined us for the 2015 United Way Fox Cities Report to the Community. We honored Tim Short and Mike Hochholzer, recipients of the Wes Urch Volunteer Service Award who exemplify our mission: to build a stronger, more caring community for everyone.
The program featured keynote speaker Dr. Dipesh Navsaria, founding medical director of Reach Out and Read Wisconsin who captivated attendees with a presentation about early childhood development and literacy. Locally, Reach Out and Read Partners - Fox Cities is expanding to all 33 local clinics, putting books in the hands of children when they visit their healthcare providers.

For over a year, United Way Fox Cities and Oshkosh Area United Way have provided direction and support for the Weight of the Fox Valley as the initiative works to build a community that achieves and maintains a healthy weight at every age.
To advance its mission, the Weight of the Fox Valley has formed partnerships throughout Calumet, Outagamie, and Winnebago Counties, and started new projects that encourage healthy habits.
 On Saturday, June 4 the Weight of the Fox Valley will kick off a new project to help local families make smart choices
at the grocery store. In partnership with Woodman's Food Market in Appleton,
Eat Well for Less
, will feature a recipe of the month that provides the right balance of nutrition and price. Each month, the project will have a new recipe card distributed in various aisles at Woodman's. The recipes serve four people for $3 or less per person. Check it out!
