The OAF exists to join resources together to support our community! What a privilege to partner with Oconomowoc Public Education Foundation - OPEF to help lift up the Oconomowoc High School Innovation Center!

In partnership with the Oconomowoc Area Foundation (OAF), OPEF has awarded a grant to the OHS Innovation Center, which allows students and clubs to create everything from pod casts to promotional materials. Exciting things are happening all over the OASD. OPEF is proud to support these endeavors!

We are honored to support the All Things SLI at Silver Lake Intermediate School Garden Club with a grant to buy raised garden beds. Our Impact Team visited the school in May to learn more about how important this club is for students. We even had the chance to buy some plants!

What a beautiful legacy! Thank you to Kevin Pehler and 3barn for crafting this amazing story. The Oconomowoc Area Foundation was one of the seven nonprofits that benefitted from last week's charitable giving during the grand opening of Uncle Henry's Backyard. Thank you to the Morse Family!

We are honored to support Family Promise of Waukesha County through an annual grant. Here is another way to help families!

We are currently restocking one of our apartment shelter units and are in need of essential household items to help create a welcoming and fully equipped space for the families we serve.

We are especially looking for items such as coffee makers, toasters, trash bins, cutting boards, silverware, cups, plates, bowls, and other basic kitchen and household supplies. These everyday essentials make a big difference in helping families feel settled and supported during their stay.

We’ve put together an Amazon wishlist to make it easy to contribute, and any donation goes directly toward helping families. You can find our wishlist here: https://a.co/047QqqJV

Items can either be delivered directly to the Day Center at:
139 E North St Waukesha, WI 53188 or dropped off during office hours: Monday–Thursday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM.

Your generosity truly helps us continue providing a space where families have what they need during difficult times.

Thank you!
