We're back! COVID-19 forced us into hiatus, but the Board of Directors of the Madison Needs Network was back together last night for our first in-person board meeting since March of 2020. Stay tuned for what's in the works!
Today was backpack delivery day to our friends at the Transition Education Program (TEP)! You can read about the wonderful work TEP does here: https://t.co/dzIlS3P6Pw

Today is the first day of...Socktober!
Sponsored by the Greater Madison Resource Center, Friends of the State Street Family, and Project Babies, Socktober is an effort to collect socks as well as underwear and diapers.
Thanks to the help of community organizations, volunteers and funding from donors, we delivered 2,500 school supply kits to elementary and middle school scholars.
Your ongoing donations will help purchase more supplies for students in need.

In addition to the 2,500 school supply kits we assembled this past weekend, the Foundation has partnered with @MMSDschools & @ezoffice to deliver 180 art supply kits to k-6th grade students in need. Sign up to help package art supplies below.

A lot of community power went into getting school supply kits purchased and assembled so Madison-area scholars can start their virtual school year.
Thanks to donors and volunteers!

Since our programming has to-date not been affected by COVID-19, we believe the best use of our resources is to donate to those on the front lines. Today we chose Journey Mental Health Center as our donation recipient based on their community-based services.
