Help Thy Neighbor Campaign

The Neighbors’ Place needs your help in order to sustain our organization and enable us to continue to respond to local needs.

The “Help Thy Neighbor” campaign will raise $500,000 to allow The Neighbors’ Place to

• pay off the remaining mortgage on its building at 745 Scott St. in Wausau,
• make energy efficiency improvements to the building, especially new windows and heating system,
• and establish an endowment fund to provide regular income and serve as a safety net.

Please consider a generous contribution today.

Just go to the website of the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin.

All contributions are tax deductible.
