June 16, 2026 – Closing the Second Quarter | Day 1 of 15 Community Dinner & Stories On April 30, Family Promise of the Chippewa Valley hosted our first-ever Community Dinner & Stories event. The evening brought together community members, partners, advocates, and supporters to hear powerful stories about housing, homelessness, resilience, and hope. More than a fundraiser, the event created space for meaningful conversations and a deeper understanding of the challenges many families face while working toward stability. The success of this inaugural event reinforced something we already know: when a community comes together, positive change is possible. Because of the incredible response and support, Community Dinner & Stories will return in 2027. Thank you to everyone who attended, shared their story, volunteered, sponsored the event, and helped make the evening a success. #ClosingTheSecondQuarter #FamilyPromiseCV #CommunityDinnerAndStories #PathToStability #EndingFamilyHomelessness

June 11, 2026 – Thursday Thoughts Today, I stopped to admire a piece of art in downtown Eau Claire. Aptly named Feline Fiasco, the sculpture captures a scene of cats climbing, balancing, and somehow finding a way forward together. At first glance, it's whimsical and fun. But as I stood there, I couldn't help but think about the reality many families experiencing homelessness face every day. When housing is uncertain, life can feel like a constant effort to maintain balance. Families are often juggling transportation, employment, childcare, finances, and the search for a safe place to call home. One unexpected challenge can throw everything off course; and in many cases, families are navigating those challenges without the support of a strong community network. At Family Promise of the Chippewa Valley, we see the strength, resilience, and determination families bring to that journey. We also see the power of community when people come together to help families regain stability and move forward. Just as every element of this sculpture contributes to the story, every volunteer, donor, partner, and advocate plays a role in helping families move from crisis to stability. Today, I'm asking for your support. Families in our community need safe housing, compassionate services, and people who believe that everyone deserves a place to call home. Whether you make a donation, volunteer your time, attend an event, or simply share our mission, your support makes a lasting impact. Together, we can help families find the balance, stability, and hope they deserve.
