Featured Nonprofit Speakers

Angie Glodowski and Kiana Schoen will speak about their organizations' grant-funded programs at ECCF's Annual Meeting. Learn about the unique collaboration between Catholic Charities' Sojourner House and Lutheran Social Services' Positive Avenues program.

With support from The Community Table, these nonprofits overcame the obstacles that COVID-19 threw in their way and successfully met the needs of people experiencing homelessness in the Chippewa Valley. Their story is an inspirational example of how creativity, generosity, and hard work can keep the light of hope shining even through the darkest times.
