Help make Halloween special for the children served by Foster the Village! 🎃 We’re collecting new and gently used costumes for our upcoming Halloween celebration. Donations in a variety of sizes will help every child find something fun to wear. 👻 Your support helps create joyful and memorable experiences for local children and families. 🧡 We also need approximately 70 small pumpkins (4-6 inches).

Donations can be dropped off before October 24 at Foster the Village during open hours, Monday - Thursday and Saturdays from 9 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. 🏡

Placement Needed:

Brown County is looking for a placement resource for a 15 year old male. He is a creative and kind-hearted youth with a quirky sense of humor who likes making others laugh. He is goofy, caring, and desperately wants stability in his life. He is working hard to better understand and regulate his emotions. He is connected to several service providers where he is learning coping strategies and stress management tools. He would benefit from a home that can provide structure, patience, and emotional guidance while working with him and his providers. He knows when to seek out a quiet space if things become overwhelming. He has made great progress over the last year with his ability to regulate emotions in challenging situations and with his independence. If you are interested in learning more, please reach out [email protected] or message below.

Dana is not only a longtime volunteer, but also our former board president, and a true advocate for the youth in our community. For months, she has been tirelessly preparing for this event. Why does she invest so much effort? Because Dana is committed to raising vital funds for an organization that supports at-risk children. With only a few days remaining until her fundraiser concludes, let’s share the incredible work she has accomplished and the positive impact she seeks to create for our community's youth 🎉

Thank you for all that you do, Dana!

Some people lead with words. Dana Kressig has always led with action.

As our past President, Dana poured her heart into our mission, giving countless hours to help children and families find hope, stability, and support. Her leadership wasn't just about serving on a board—it was about showing up, inspiring others, and making a lasting difference in our community. Her "why" has always been the people we serve.

Today, we have an opportunity to honor that legacy by supporting Dana's fundraising campaign with New Dancing with Our Stars.

If you've ever been inspired by Dana's compassion, leadership, or commitment to others, please consider making a gift in her honor. Every donation, no matter the size, helps continue the work she cares so deeply about.

This week we had the pleasure of taking our Pals participants to Duck Creek Golf Center for a round of mini golf and a sweet treat! Though it was a chilly evening, the kids enjoyed the sunshine and competition with their Pals ☀️🏆

We love working with Kathy at Duck Creek and would highly recommend visiting before they close up for the season ⛳

For years, we have been fortunate enough to partner with St. Agnes Parish to help fill our emergency closet with basic hygiene items for families in need. We are so grateful that they are hosting a collection for us again now as our supplies dwindles.
