Making the holidays a bit brighter for individuals and families facing financial and other hardships is the goal of the 2023 Waushara Holiday Project. This project reflects the heart of Waushara County in which neighbors work together to help neighbors.

Applications can be completed online at https://tinyurl.com/2023WausharaHolidayProject or by picking up a paper application at the Waushara County Food Pantry 220A Oakridge Ct, the Waushara County Department of Human Services Offices located in the Waushara County Courthouse and at 230 West Park Street or Family Health La Clinica at 400 S.
