Please consider joining with The United Way of Dane County and Boys & Girls Club as they partner tonight at 6:00 pm at the State Capitol in front of the Vel Philips statue for a candlelight vigil honoring the victims.

Keep this community of learners and their families in your thoughts.

Our hearts go out to all the children, educators and families affected by today’s devastating and tragic event at Abundant Life Christian School. While it feels impossible to move forward in times like these, know that we stand ready to support any who need it – starting with the creation of the Abundant Life Christian School Emergency and Recovery Fund. Visit www.unitedwaydanecounty.org or text Help4ALCS to 40403 to make a donation to help those impacted today. 100% of the funds go directly to ALCS.

In the meantime, United Way of Dane County 211 is here to help – call or text 211 to get connected to resources including mental health supports, warm winter clothes for those evacuated from the scene, finding meals, counseling services and more.

We’re committed to helping our close-knit Dane County community recover, together. You are not alone.
