💘☕ Feeling the Love This Valentine’s Day! 🌸💐

This morning, our women were reminded just how deeply loved they are thanks to our incredible friends at Coffee House La Crosse . They generously gifted each of our women beautiful flowers and a coffee, creating such a special and joy filled start to the day. ☕🌷

It was more than just flowers and coffee. It was a tangible reminder that they are seen, valued, and loved by Jesus and by this amazing community that surrounds them. Moments like these speak life and encouragement into their journeys in powerful ways.

Jules Coffee House, thank you for helping us celebrate our women and for being such a thoughtful part of their story. 💗

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕

🎵 Joy in the Little Moments 🎵

Through music, smiles, and shared laughter, these women are learning how to enjoy life again and create new memories together. Moments like a spontaneous piano duet remind us that recovery is not only about healing from the past, but also about rediscovering joy in the present.

We are so grateful for a house that is filled with joy, connection, and laughter, where recovery feels hopeful, lighthearted, and full of life. 🎶✨

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Phillips Outdoor Services for their generous $250 donation to Adult and Teen Challenge Wisconsin!

Your support helps our communities find freedom from addiction and life controlling struggles through faith based recovery, care, and hope.

We are especially grateful to Christian and the Phillips Cares initiative for choosing to invest in life change right here in Wisconsin. Partnerships like this make a lasting impact, and we are honored to be part of the work you are doing to strengthen the Coulee Region.

Thank you again for your kindness, your compassion, and your commitment to helping others begin a new story.

For our first Phillips Cares donation of 2026, we presented La Crosse Adult & Teen Challenge with a $250 donation. ATC was selected by our Sales Consultant, Christian! 💙💚

Christian previously spent time working with vulnerable populations in La Crosse and saw first-hand the effects of substance abuse and addictions. For his donation, he wanted to support an organization that combined his faith and helping those overcome addition. That’s where Kevin and his team at ATC matched perfectly.

Adult & Teen Challenge Wisconsin’s mission is to provide support for individuals seeking to gain freedom from chemical and other life-controlling problems by addressing spiritual, physical, and emotional needs. While their La Crosse location focuses on helping women 18+, their newly added Wausau location will focus on helping men 18+.

Thank you La Crosse Adult & Teen Challenge for helping women in our community overcome additions, begin healing, and support life changing transformations!

Phillips Cares is our team-led, community donation initiative. Each month we randomly select 2 team members who each choose a local nonprofit that makes the Coulee Region better for everyone. Whether the organization has personally impacted their life or supports a cause close to their heart.

💚 Give Where You Live 💚

We are incredibly grateful for the community support that surrounds us.

Each year, People’s Food Co-Op owners nominate and vote for local nonprofits to be supported through their Give Where You Live register round up program. Throughout the month, shoppers can choose to round their purchase up to the nearest dollar. At the end of the month, those small acts of generosity come together to make a big impact.

We are honored to share that Adult and Teen Challenge Wisconsin has been selected as the La Crosse Give Where You Live recipient for February 2026 🎉

If you are stopping by People’s Food Co-Op this month, consider rounding up your total and supporting life changing recovery right here in our community. Every dollar truly makes a difference.

Thank you to People’s Food Co-Op and to every shopper who chooses to give where they live. We could not do this without you 💚✨

Addiction does not discriminate. It affects women and families from every background, age, and story.

Did you know that millions of women in the United States struggle with substance use each year, yet many never receive the help they need? Shame, fear, and isolation often keep women silent, even when their hearts are crying out for change.

But addiction does not have to be the end of the story.

Recovery is possible. Healing is possible. A new life is possible.

At Adult and Teen Challenge, we believe freedom comes through faith, community, and long term support. You do not have to walk this journey alone.

We are here to help. If you or someone you love is ready for a new beginning, you can apply today at

Hope starts with one step. 💙
