During the FoodShare interview, applicants and members will be referred to their notices for specific reporting requirements for other programs they are enrolled in.

Downtown Madison Accessibility Survey
Downtown Madison, Inc (DMI) is beginning to embark on a new effort to ensure ALL people with disabilities are able to live, work, play, and visit the central city. DMI has formed a new committee, Beyond Compliance, that is leading the effort. DMI is committed to ensuring that people with disabilities guide this process, and that starts with this survey.
This survey will take about 15 minutes to complete.
This survey includes seven sections:
1. Demographics
2. Mobility
3. Transportation
4. Private Businesses
5. Community Events
6. Parks and Open Spaces
7. Public Spaces and Semi-public Spaces
Click here to take the survey
**This survey is looking for responses from people with disabilities or people who support, assist, facilitate, or know someone with a disability.**

LOV-Dane and the Arc Dane County invite individuals and their families to participate in a Family Care/IRIS (FC/IRIS) Learning Circle. The Circle meets monthly, is led by families, and will sometimes include advocates among its friends.
The FC/IRIS Learning Circle is not a training event. It is a gathering within which people can learn together, using and sharing their own ideas and experiences, creating and strengthening connections with one another, engaging in problem-solving, and continuing the tradition of grassroots innovations which has long characterized our work together within Dane County.
Madison Learning Circle
When: Monday, October 29, 6-7:30pm
Where: Arboretum Cohousing, 1137 Erin St
Register: Click here to register through Eventbrite.
Stoughton Learning Circle
When: Wednesday, October 24, 5:30-7pm
Where: Elven Sted Community Room, 631 8th St
Register: Click here to register through Eventbrite.
Disclaimer: We created the FC/IRIS Learning Circles for families to come together and share their experiences and support during and after their transitions into Family Care and IRIS. The information and opinions shared in the group are personal and do not represent the opinions or positions of LOV-Dane.
