🌨️ Introducing Do Good Wisconsin’s Snow Angel Program! ❄️

This winter, we’re launching a new initiative to help identify and support neighbors who may need a little extra help clearing snow — whether due to health issues, age, or other circumstances. 🧤

Our Snow Angel Signs are designed to raise awareness and inspire acts of kindness right in your neighborhood. If you or someone you know could use one of these signs, please fill out the short form below 👇
➡️ https://forms.gle/JUygatDnqhDT6HbM6

There is NO cost to receive these. Do Good Wisconsin will cover the cost of printing and shipping.

Please note — space is limited based on available funding, so we encourage early submissions.

Want to help us expand this program and reach more people in need this winter? 💙 You can make a donation today at www.DoGoodWisconsin.com.

Together, we can make sure no one gets left out in the cold. ☃️
