Claus on patrol 2021
Merry Christmas!
Santa and The Grinch stopped by to help us ignite the Christmas spirit in our community!
With the help of the Racine Police Department-Community Oriented Policing Officers and the generous members at Burn Boot Camp - Mt. Pleasant, WI, we were able to walk our neighborhoods and surprise over 200 children with a toy and blanket to kick off this festive week!
We hope that the Christmas spirit is alive in you today and wish you have a safe, healthy and peaceful holiday season filled with love and light!
Bed Building for kids
All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. In Wisconsin and across the U.S., too many boys and girls go without a bed - or even a pillow - to sleep on. These children end up sleeping on couches, blankets, and even floors. This affects their happiness and health.
​
That's where
Sleep in Heavenly Peace - WI, Racine/Kenosha
comes in. They're a group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling and delivering top-notch bunk beds to children and families in need. No kid sleeps on the floor in our town.
​
Did you know that there are 13 chapters in WI alone?
We decided to get involved and support our local chapter and would like to encourage you to learn more about how you can too by visiting their website, https://www.shpbeds.org/chapters!
Helping a
Youth Shelter in Need
We are so grateful for the incredible work done at SAFE Haven of Racine to support at-risk youth in our community. To say thank you, we gave their clothing donation room a makeover…but that’s not all. Thanks to the generosity of the Grand Foundation, we were able to surprise Safe Haven with new kitchen appliances!

Food for First Responders
The events of September 11th will never be forgotten. Through the darkness of that day, light can still shine through. We hoped to bring a little bit of that light to the first-responders in the six firehouses around Racine, WI.
​
Special thanks to O&H Danish Bakery and Jimmy Johns for providing food for this project.
Pizza for Veterans
We visited the men and women at Veterans Outreach of Wisconsin to learn more about the impact they are making in the veteran community. We did not come empty handed thanks to our Orchestrating Good partner, Nonna Wells Pizzeria.
They cooked and delivered pizzas that each resident was able to custom order with their favorite toppings!
Check it out and get a sneak peak at the market they are planning to open soon!
