Eagle River, WI An amazing community

Way to go Eagle River! This last Christmas we started a new program called Northwoods Share which provided new toys for parents in financial need to give their children. Our Eagle River community gave amazing response as they donated gifts and money to fill the wish lists of parents for their children. We believe the core of this program is to encourage desperate families during the Christmas season and use toys as a way to help. We also feel it important to help parents' identity by letting them shop for and choose gifts to give their children. This last December we were able to help 125 parents and 250 children. When we found ourselves short on gifts we sent out word through the radio and newspaper and people responded! thank you Eagle River! I am proud to live here with each of you!
