Be partners in keeping the community safe. Freedom Inc. staff work hard every day to make sure our community has safe housing, food and access to mental wellness. To do our work, we need your help. Covid and the racial rebellion has led to insecure times- yet we've continued to find joy and celebrate our community. We've held wellness popups where we provide grocery giftcards and basic household supplies.
This year, we gave out food and PPE every week at our pantry serving over hundreds of individuals. We handed out 500 backpacks with school supplies to 300 families. We found time to care for each other and find joy during our various youth virtual talent shows and our drive-thru Trunk and Treat. Our staff continued to be on the frontlines - delivering food to vulnerable clients and participating in the uprisings on racial justice. We more than doubled the number of people we served during the pandemic and the needs continue to grow. We know that the Wisconsin winter will be tough on many families. The funds we raise here will allow us to provide safe housing for women, children and Queer survivors of gender based violence.
