WCH
appreciates the generosity of its supporters.
Below are just a few examples. |
Brownie Troop 7194 from Wheatland
Center School
As
part of a community service project, Brownie Troop 7194
from Wheatland Center School donated Easter baskets to
Women and Children's Horizons last April.
The troop also chose the agency as the recipient of the 22 boxes
of cookies donated by their customers this year.
Pictured are: Isabelle Stubblefield, Danielle Garrett, Cassie
Schneider,
Jessica Batko, Anna Devall, Sarah Verzal and Samantha Holst.
Not Pictured: Samantha Serak, and Troop Leaders Katie Verzal
and Lisa Devall.

Mr.
Tim Elverman of Milwaukee, Wisconsin has generously given WCH a donation
of $5,000.00 in honor of and as a memorial to his parents, Honorine
and William Elverman. In
Mr. Elverman's words, he was raised in Kenosha by two wonderful parents
and somewhat took for granted his mother's advocacy for women in Kenosha
County until later in life when he saw the love and respect shown for
her by the younger women she had impacted. WCH was one of his mother's
favorite organizations, and she appreciated the wonderful work that
Women and Children's Horizons did on a daily basis to make the lives
of women and children in Kenosha County more happy and healthy.

four cases of Girl Scout Cookies to the Women and Children's Horizons'
shelter. They visited the office and learned about facilities and services.

Two
Artists in Kenosha, WI
A
thoughtful donation was given to WCH by two local artists. At a gallery
opening reception, Katy Fallucca, and Kim Rahal, gave away their works
of art in a raffle, and used the money they received as donations to
worthy causes in the Kenosha area. Katy Fallucca is a landscape photographer
and Kim Rahal is a painter of portraits and abstract art. The money
collected went to WCH and Meals on Wheels. Kim Rahal knew of Women and
Children’s Horizons services. Kim also donated a print of the
abstract she raffled, to be used in the Annual Golf Outing Raffle.
