Partnering alongside the American Legion Auxiliary Unit # 166 Fort Atkinson, Wi 53538 for the 4th annual Blessing Backpack project was a success. Residents at Fairhaven Senior Services made 100 scarves that went into backpacks along with donations of toothbrushes and toothpaste from Rock River Dental, Eby Dental, and Fort Family Dental teams. Each backpack contains a hat, gloves, scarf and socks, along with a personal hygiene pack. 50 backpacks were taken to Gifts Men Shelter in Janesville by project chairs Betty Schelb and Sandy Troemel, and 50 to the Homeless Coalition of Fort Atkinson by ALA unit # 166 President Robin White. We are extremely thankful to be part of this amazing project. Thank you to ALL involved. ❤
