As the crisp autumn air settles in, Community Action continues its mission to combat poverty and uplift our neighbors in Rock and Walworth counties. This November, we are excited to share updates on our ongoing programs and upcoming events designed to make a tangible difference in our community.

Beloit Bundle Up Distribution

We are incredibly grateful to Visit Beloit and everyone who donated their gently used winter wear to this year’s Beloit Bundle Up. This generosity will help keep our community warm this winter.

We are excited to announce that the Bundle Up Distribution will take place on Saturday, November 16th from 9am - 3pm at 27 Eclipse Center, Beloit, WI 53511.

TOS Reverse Advent Calendar

This holiday season, we’re bringing back our unique twist on the traditional advent calendar! Instead of receiving a treat each day, we invite you to put an item in a laundry basket daily and deliver it to our shelter when you’re ready.

Your generous contributions make a huge difference in our community. We appreciate your support!

A printable version can be found on our website under the "How You Can Help" tab.

Gingerbread Extravaganza 2024

The countdown is on! We are just one month away from our 11th Annual Gingerbread Extravaganza!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 7th from 9am - 1pm at Fruzen Middle School. Get ready for a day filled with festive fun and holiday cheer!

Join us at the Gingerbread Workshop to decorate your pre-built masterpieces, visit with Santa, and burn off some energy in the Fruzen gym!

All proceeds support Community Action’s neighborhood programs in Rock & Walworth counties. Let’s make this holiday season extra special together!
