Living in Northeast Wisconsin, we have been blessed with a beautiful fall, warmer weather than usual, sunny days and cool evenings. There are people in parts of our country, namely east Tennessee and northwest North Carolina, that are currently suffering after Hurricane Helene washed away whole communities. Several groups of people from Northeastern Wisconsin have been working with a distribution center in Cosby/New Port, Tennessee to get supplies and other needed things to people in this area. There is a group of 17 families whose houses were washed away living in a field in tents or under the stars. With colder weather approaching, several people in Wisconsin are trying to secure and bring campers to this area for safe shelter and heat. Below is a picture of one camper enroute to provide a temporary home for a family of 5. Humbled by what God has provided through these families involved, Mike and I, with family and friends, are in the process of purchasing one camper to send to Tennessee this week and would like to try to raise funds to provide a second camper to a family in this area.
We are doing a fund raiser at the De Pere and Chilton Cinema. Chilton Cinema will do take out pizza and popcorn orders from 4:30pm to 6:30pm Tuesday through Friday this week (Nov 12-15). We will donate 50% of take out pizza sales toward the purchase of a camper. If customers would like to purchase a bag of popcorn to go, we will donate 100% of take out popcorn to this effort. Please text orders (including 12 or 14" size, toppings, take and bake or fully baked, and pickup time) to cinema tablet at 920-492-1490. If you have a question or want to place an order earlier in the day text Vicki at 920-371-1585 and please specify Chilton location. De Pere take out hours are 4-6pm Tuesday through Friday. Text Vicki with order including pickup time and specify De Pere location. We appreciate support as northeast Wisconsin helps those in need a few states away.
