The relocation of Afghan families into communities across the United States has created an opportunity for each of us to stand up and assist people in need. Nearly all Afghan families are arriving here with only the clothes on their backs so the needs are immense.

Wisconsin Academy has volunteered to be a Donation Center, working with Team Rubicon to help donated items reach Afghan families. Your generosity and support are greatly appreciated!

Each evening, from 5pm-7pm students groups of students from our recently-formed Sabbath School classes will be in the gym parking lot accepting donations. This will happen on the following evenings:

-Sunday, September 12 – Friday, September 17

Only NEW donated items will be accepted. For your gently used donations, please contact your local Goodwill, Salvation Army, or thrift stores to put these items to best use.
