🥜🍇 It’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time! 🍇🥜
A HUGE thank you to Fox Communities Credit Union for helping us stock our shelves through the PB&J Drive! We just picked up enough peanut butter and jelly to keep our shelters stocked for quite a while.

👉Fun fact: Clients staying at our shelters can sign up for a bagged lunch if they are going to work, and we provide sandwiches on weekends if we do not have any lunch providers... That means a whole lot of PB… and J! 🥪

Thank you, Fox Communities Credit Union, for helping make sure our clients have access to a simple meal when they need it most. Your generosity makes a difference! 💙

Here is a great resource for local food pantries in the Fox Cities.

👉 Navigating local food pantries is much easier when you know what to expect before you go. While many pantries exist to provide emergency groceries, every location operates under its own specific rules, schedules, and intake procedures.

🛒 Calling ahead to verify if you need to apply or sign up is the best way to save time and ensure you leave with the food your household needs.

Celebrating Our Staff & Our Workplace Culture! 🍪✨

89% of Pillars staff participated in a recent survey designed to help us strengthen and expand our workplace culture. The survey gave our team an opportunity to share feedback and help us assess key areas of growth from the past year, including training and development, accountability, respect, communication, and more.

We’re grateful for the time and thoughtful feedback our staff provided—and we’re committed to using what we learned to continue making Pillars a great place to work!

To celebrate, our Illumyx Fairy, aka the “Cookie Fairy,” 🍪🧚‍♀️ stopped by a few of our buildings this past week, and will continue to spread a little sweetness in the weeks ahead at all of our sites to show our appreciation for our amazing staff.

Thank you to the Pillars team for all you do! 💙

💙 We are incredibly honored to receive a donation from Appleton Downtown Inc!

Volunteerism, connection, and community! 💙

We were honored to be invited by Thrivent to participate in their employee volunteer fair! It was a wonderful opportunity to share more about Pillars, our services, and the many ways employees can get involved in supporting our mission.

Thrivent has been an incredible partner to Pillars, including helping coordinate dinner volunteer groups—monthly at our Adult Shelter and quarterly at our Adult & Family Shelter. 🍽️

One of the best parts of the day was hearing from Thrivent employees who have volunteered with us before. As they stopped by our table, they shared stories and memories of their time at our shelters—the joy and connection they experienced with clients and staff, and the friendships they built with fellow volunteers.

We are so grateful for Thrivent’s continued partnership and for the employees who give their time, talents, and hearts to our community. Together, we’re making a difference! 💙
