Winners of the High School Division Dodgeball Tournament - "The Average Joes"
"Throw Down 2013"
The youth ministers at Appleton Alliance Church held a unique fundraiser to benefit LEAVEN. "Throw Down 2013" was held on April 27th at the Appleton Alliance Excel Sportsplex from noon until 8pm. Youth Pastors Brian Episcopo and Coleton Segars raised $2,500 when they hosted this family-friendly dodge-ball tournament for youth ages 7th grade to 12th grade. A big thank you to Appleton Alliance Church for making LEAVEN the recipient of this fun day of dodge-ball. Thank you to the many volunteers for their dedication to the event and a special thank you to the The Meat Block for donating all of the hot dogs for the event.
Help for the Homeless Hygiene Donations Top $225,000
The goal of our Help for the Homeless hygiene drive is to supply local crisis agencies with an entire year’s worth of products so that they can direct their limited financial resources towards providing qualified personnel, safe housing, nutritious food, education, and counseling to those they serve. This spring, more than $225,000 worth of hygiene and cleaning products were collected and donated to area crisis agencies in 10 participating communities. Donations are now snugly tucked away on the storage shelves of 51 Northeast Wisconsin crisis agencies. Donations stay in the communities where they are collected. The Fox Cities community donated $100,000 worth of these items. They're staying right here to serve our neighbors in need. Way to go Fox Cities!
(LEAVEN Volunteers helped collect a trailer full, a pick up truck and a car full of items for LEAVEN clients.)
Kiwanis Division 18 Neenah/Menasha/Appleton Cleans Up
Members of the Kiwanis Division 18 group spent most of their Saturday on April 7th performing a major spring cleaning of LEAVEN's Main Menasha office. They scrubbed, dusted, painted, vacuumed and worked very hard to make the interior space sparkle. Thank you to this group for their hard work!
