primary partners
Western Dairyland Economic Opportunity Council (WDEOC), a non-profit serving western Wisconsin since 1966, will purchase the building, oversee renovations, manage the facility, and occupy approximately two-thirds of the total space with offices dedicated to assisting low-income families and individuals.
Hope Gospel Mission (HGM), a nonprofit with long-standing experience serving people struggling with homelessness and addiction, will provide staff and oversee the day-to-day operations of the Day Resource Center. HGM will make its day shelter services inclusive and low-barrier for everyone needing services without discrimination.
A campaign fund has been established at the Eau Claire Community Foundation (ECCF). The mission of ECCF is to strengthen our community by offering donors opportunities to establish charitable legacies, by making grants, and by serving as a catalyst to address community needs.
