It’s been over a year since we’ve been to the Village Diaper Bank, but it’s always a rewarding experience. Also, we’ve seen diapers from the Village Diaper Bank at the different food pantries we have worked at this year, which is so cool to see! The Village Diaper Bank partners with local service organizations to […]
We ended the year with one of our favorite volunteer outings, which as you can see from the picture, looked a little different this year! We assisted Empty Stocking Club by helping families get each child a specially selected toy – and a book! (thanks to a partnership with Madison Reading Project) – into the […]
With the pandemic making many group volunteer outings impossible, I decided to go back to an old favorite and make a birthday special! For this activity, we helped prepare a “birthday box” so little Kaleb has everything he needs to celebrate for his 5th birthday! Box of Balloons is a non-profit organization on a mission to […]
This is a popular seasonal outing where we volunteer as “toy helpers”, helping families select toys at the annual Toy Depot where toys are distributed via Empty Stocking Club. For over 100 years, the Empty Stocking Club, the charitable arm of the Wisconsin State Journal, has had a mission of providing new toys for children in Dane […]
This outing is one of our favorites, but unfortunately for us (but fortunately for RMC House), this is always booked out months in advanced. However, we were able to donate and prepare the evening meal for families staying at our local Ronald McDonald House. Madison’s Ronald McDonald House Charities provides services and a “home-away-from-home” for families while […]
For our tenth outing of 2017, we continued to combat hunger by working with The River Food Pantry. The River Food Pantry is Dane County’s busiest food pantry, offering free groceries, meals, and clothing to anyone who comes for help. More than just meals, The River provides a warm and welcoming family atmosphere where everyone […]
For our ninth outing of 2017, we continued to combat hunger by working with the Ronald McDonald House in Madison. Madison’s Ronald McDonald House Charities provides services and a “home-away-from-home” for families while a child they love receives treatment at area hospitals. They come to Madison in search of a hope, a treatment, a cure, […]
For our seventh outing of 2017, we continued to combat hunger by working with The River Food Pantry’s mobile lunch program, Madison Unites to Nourish Children at Home (MUNCH). We’ve volunteered at the River in the past in their food pantry, but not in this capacity. The MUNCH program provides mobile lunch services directly to […]
For the sixth volunteer outing of 2017, we volunteered to help people get food at the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry. It was a special outing too as we were also participating in the 2nd Annual DE Day of Service! Given our focus this year, it made sense for this special day to continue […]
For the fifth volunteer outing of 2017, we continued our work in the area of combating hunger by helping people get food at Goodman Community Center’s Fritz Food Pantry. The Goodman Community Center is here for our whole community. Goodman currently houses a preschool, 4-year-old kindergarten, afterschool programs for all ages (including countywide Girls Inc.), […]
