We are, no doubt, in uncertain times as we navigate the COVID-19 outbreak. During this time, we have seen great hope as we are all coming together to support one another. The Waunakee community remains strong and is pulling together to lift each other up and inspire each other with the hope of human spirit. Write inspiring messages on your side walks, make pictures to hang in your windows, call a friend or neighbor and keep that spirit of community alive! Hold on to community as we will weather this storm together; no one is alone!

restrictions are lifted. We are still providing services, so please reach out if there is anything you need and we will do our best to get it to you in a safe manner. The supplies we have in stock are paper products, toiletries, and laundry soap. We have a very limited supply of cleaning products, but we do have some.
We also have volunteers who are available to make friendly calls to anyone feeling lonely or anxious. Let us know if you’d like us to connect you with someone for this. Even if you let us know previously that you didn’t need any calls, you can change your mind!
We have set up a temporary phone line where you can reach us directly for any questions or concerns: (

Neighbor to Neighbor
Family Crisis Program
If your family is experiencing a short-term, unexpected crisis, the Neighbor-to-Neighbor program can provide extra support and resources as you adjust to new circumstances. Through the Neighbor-to-Neighbor fund, we may be able to help cover some of the immediate expenses you may have. We realize that during this time many of you may be out of work and this could create a short-term financial crisis for you. If you have questions about this program, please call Stacey or Lisa at the number above.

This week alone, we have been inspired talking to several of you and encouraged by the positive attitudes you have. So many of you are supporting one another and even helping neighbors around you. You are a gift and bring light to the work we do and you are an important part of our community! Watch artists play free concerts on social media, take a walk daily, enjoy family time, play board games, practice kindness, smile at yourself and share a smile with another. We gain strength from one another and the beauty is we are all in this together. Use the light within and let it shine brightly for all to see and to keep community together and the human spirit alive. Be well everyone!
