Our 2016 Volunteers guarantee that it may be cold outside - but baby, it's warm inside!
Due to all the extraordinary efforts of our volunteers, the 29th Annual Heat's On Program was another huge success! There were 54 homes of area Veterans that were
checked and are now ready for the upcoming winter!

We worked with the
Dane County Veterans Service Office (DCVSO), as well as divisions of the
Veterans Health Administration (VHA). They helped connect us with deserving veterans including: disabled veterans, veterans of Operation Endurance and veterans of Iraqi Freedom. This was the second year we have worked with these organizations and we feel it's a wonderful collaboration. We would like to say a special Thank You to Lisa Vining, from DCVSO, for attending this glorious event.
Once again Gaylord's Catering provided a delicious, hearty breakfast. They have been with us since the beginning and their steak and eggs start the day off like no other.
