Construction is underway!

Things are finally moving and shaking at Stepping Stones as progress continues on the new 20-bed emergency shelter.

Thank you (so far) to the following companies who are part of this amazing project -

SSG (Skid Steer Guy) - Demolition

New Emergency Shelter Campaign

We received a substantial grant from the State of Wisconsin, but after construction costs came into focus, knew this wouldn't be enough for interior supplies.

Our 20-bed emergency shelter will provide a critical lifeline to those in need, offering a warm and secure place to sleep, hot meals, and supportive services to help individuals get back on their feet.

We wouldn't be over halfway to our goal if it wasn't for this community. THANK YOU for Stepping Up and building this with us!
