The Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin has a lunch and learn series called Community Lunch Hour (CLH). This event offers opportunities to explore and learn more about various community topics while creating connections. Attendees will also be provided ways to get involved and help make a difference. Topics will change every month.
Upcoming Community Lunch Hours
We’re taking a short break for the rest of 2024. You are invited to join us in 2025 for our first CLH of the year!
Door2Dreams is on a mission to develop independent housing solutions for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Central Wisconsin. Since 2020, the Community Foundation has proudly supported this effort to ensure that adults with IDD can live, work, and thrive in the community of their choice. Founded by a committed group of parents, professionals, and self-advocates, Door2Dreams is working to transform housing options for adults with IDD. Join us on Monday, January 13 at 12pm for an inspiring webinar with Jenny, Karen, Glen, Mark, and Rikki who will share more about the organization’s work, their campaign to build an inclusive community in Central Wisconsin, and how you can get involved.
