Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming representatives from Kimberly-Clark to our Women's Shelter in Appleton! 💚

Their visit provided an opportunity to see firsthand how their generous grant support impacts women who are working to overcome homelessness and build stable, independent lives. We love sharing our mission through tours because it allows community partners to experience the COTS program beyond the numbers and reports.

COTS is more than a housing program. It is a home where residents find safety, support, accountability, and the resources needed to achieve long term success. Seeing our spaces and hearing the stories behind the work helps bring that mission to life.

Thank you, Kimberly-Clark, for your continued investment in the residents of COTS and for taking the time to visit with us today. Your support is making a meaningful difference in the lives of our struggling neighbors.

Interested in seeing how your donor dollars are put to work? We'd love to show you around! Contact [email protected] to schedule a tour and learn more about the impact of COTS in our community.

A huge thank you to the AbbyBank Foundation for their generous grant that made our new e-bike charging station possible! 🚲⚡

It took us a little time to find the perfect charging station and the right location, but we think the wait was worth it. Isn't she beautiful?

This new addition provides COTS residents with a safe and secure place to charge their e-bikes, helping them maintain reliable transportation to work, appointments, and other important destinations. The station is located inside a shed, protecting both the bikes and the charging equipment from Wisconsin weather.

We are so grateful to the AbbyBank Foundation for investing in practical solutions that help our residents build stability and independence. Thank you for helping us remove barriers and create opportunities for success! 💚
