Usually we would have welcomed everybody to our annual Empty Bowls Caring Hearts fundraiser with our gorgeous community painted bowls, homemade soup, live music, overflowing raffle baskets, live silent auction, and more. This is the largest fundraiser each year for SAM25 and raises over a third of our operating budget. Due to COVID-19 we have had to think creatively to provide a safe and fun event and raise the funds needed to keep SAM25 open. We realize that COVID-19 has greatly affected our community so we thank you for any support you have given to SAM25 in the past and any you are able to give now.

Also special this year, is the completion of SAM25's new home renovation at 105 E. Richmond St, Shawano, WI. We are saddened that we were not able to celebrate in person the culmination of seven year's worth of work, vision, and support. We cannot wait for our supporters and the community to get a peak inside, even if it is through a virtual tour. We appreciate the amazing community support for SAM25, especially as we expand our services. We are incredibly grateful for all of the support we received before we opened the NEW SHELTER this season! We are beyond blessed!!
