Grants We’ve Funded Fox Cares Foundation Donates $35,000! The Fox Cares Foundation gave $35,000 to support three local community foundations’ COVID-19 Community Response Funds. They were the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation and the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation. Every dollar donated into these funds were put into action in each of the communities. These grants were given out to support local non-profits. Zack Pawlosky, Board President of the Fox Cares Foundation says, “As a relatively new Foundation, I was thrilled with the speed and level of response that we were able to create, as we all continue to walk down this unknown road as a local community. Giving to our local foundations emergency funds will allow us to cast a wide net of giving and support to our fellow Northeast Wisconsin neighbors.”
Jake’s Diapers jakesdiapers.org A pilot project with Family & Childcare Resources of N.E.W., found over half of recipients stated that receiving diapers enabled them to go to work, look for work, go to school or take children to childcare. They also found that the number one benefit to receiving diapers was to reduce stress (55%), followed by making the child happier and healthier (51%). In May alone, they distributed 71,534 diapers to 1,668 children.
Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley bgclubfoxvalley.org The Healthy Habits Food Program provides nutritious meals and snacks five days per week, year-round at no cost to Club attendees. This helps stretch already limited family budgets and ensures young people get the nutritional intake they need to grow and thrive. It also teaches nutrition to these same families.
