Neighborhood Network Collaborative Grant
Collaboration Project exists to gather Christ-followers to deepen awareness of our local context and discern faithful action for the good of our neighbors. One way we pursue this mission is through Neighborhood Network Collaborative Grants, which support collaborative experiments that strengthen communities across Dane County.
This summer, Collaboration Project awarded three grants of $750 to participants in its Neighborhood Networks to launch projects designed to serve and bless their neighborhoods. Below is a short description of the La Follette & Monona Grove Neighborhood Network winner’s project.
Supporting Students at La Follette High School
St. Stephen's Lutheran Church and Lake Edge Lutheran Church are partnering with La Follette High School to provide snack boxes, school supplies, and personal necessities to students throughout the summer. Volunteers from the congregations will also offer support to students and staff during summer school.
