🧥❄️ One year later, and School House Threads is growing!

After launching last year to provide essential clothing items for local elementary students, the program is now turning its attention to winter coats and boots.

With Wisconsin winters being what they are, having warm, reliable winter gear isn't just about comfort—it's about helping kids get to school ready to learn and participate.

A huge shoutout to the Wild Rose Kiwanis for continuing to invest in our community's youngest residents. ❤️
