Fundraiser and Coat Drive a Success

Adams with sign 6Thanks to support from individuals like you and partnerships with local businesses and churches, Habitat for Humanity of Adams-Juneau and the Mauston ReStore raised over $1,300 in our 2013 Holiday Fundraiser. You may have seen our donation jars at a number of locations around Adams and Juneau Counties, where hundreds of donors helped out with the change in their pockets. We are grateful to the community for all the support we received in this event. All proceeds have supported construction on the two houses we are building in Mauston and Adams. These houses will be completed before summer.

In addition to the fundraiser, our Warm Coat Drive ran from late November through the middle of December. Coat collection bins were located at the ReStore, Festival Foods, the Bank of Mauston, Bethany Lutheran Church and Mauston United Methodist Church. Together, we collected more than 100 coats, gloves, and hats of all sizes. All of this winter clothing was distributed alongside the Toys for Tots program and at the Mauston Food Pantry. We are so happy that all these kids and adults have a warm coat to battle the extra cold weather this winter.
