Families First of Monroe County

📸 We were all set to capture a great photo celebrating an incredible gift from the Burnstad Family Foundation... but our friendly face at the front desk somehow let the photo opportunity get away! 😄

So you'll have to imagine a giant smile, lots of gratitude, and perhaps some happy dancing in our office as we say THANK YOU to the Burnstad Family Foundation for their extraordinarily generous $10,000 donation to Families First of Monroe County!

Your support helps us continue strengthening families, supporting children, and building a healthier community for everyone we serve. We are deeply grateful for your investment in our mission and the families who count on us every day.

Since we don't have the picture to prove it, you'll just have to trust us when we say we are absolutely thrilled. 💙

💜 Honored, Grateful, and Inspired 💜
​We had a wonderful morning attending the Purple Thursday Breakfast hosted by the Women’s Fund of Greater La Crosse!
​We are beyond grateful and honored to be selected as one of this year’s grant recipients. This funding allows us to continue making a meaningful impact in our community and supporting those who need it most.
​Being in a room full of passionate leaders, advocates, and changemakers was truly energizing. A heartfelt thank-you to the Women’s Fund of Greater La Crosse, their generous donors, and everyone working tirelessly to uplift women and families across our region. 💜✨

Today we remember the children who were taken from their families, honor Survivors, and hold space for healing and remembrance.

We wear orange to remember. We listen to learn. We stand together.
