Welcome
Welcome John Kloepping to the GIFTS Shelter Team! John will be filling our position of Weekend Shelter Supervisor. He started last month and is already making a huge impact. If you see John be sure to give him a big welcome!
Welcome Kristen Stott to the GIFTS Team! Kristen will be joining us for the summer as an intern through the UW. She will be at GIFTS until she returns in the fall to Notre Dame where she is majoring in neuroscience and behavior. She hopes to continue on to medical school.
Janesville/Beloit Bus Passes Needed
GIFTS serves unsheltered men in Rock County which means guests need to sometimes commute between Janesville and Beloit. We are in need of help for our guests with bus passes to travel to Beloit and back. A round-trip ride is $7.00.
There are two ways to help us obtain these special bus passes:

1. Visit Janesville Transit and ask to purchase the individual passes for Janesville to Beloit and back.

2. Give a donation to GIFTS designating its use for Janesville/Beloit bus passes. You can give online by clicking here. Please email us here to let us know your donation is for the bus.

THANK YOU for your generosity and for helping us keep GIFTS guests connected!

We LOVE Our Church Partners
We look forward to each week when a church shows up with volunteers full of love and energy to serve the guests at GIFTS! The guests and the staff love seeing those happy faces.

Summer is a great time to serve and we are in need of churches to sign-up! Just click here and sign up online. If you need to customize your week or your church isn't involved yet, just email Tracy here.

Our next Church Coordinator meeting will be on June 30 at 5:30 pm. Join us for updates and a parking lot party to say thank you for all you do! (Note: we may change this meeting to the fall if we do not have enough RSVPs to attend. Watch your email for updates!)
GIFTS Thrift is STILL Open


Road construction season is here! But, we aren't letting the closure and work on Black Bridge Road slow down the great deals happening at the GIFTS Thrift Store.

You can still shop AND donate with us. Just enter via our side entrance on Alden Road.

See you soon for all of our HOT summer merch!
