Neighbor to Neighbor
<p>In this episode we are talking about hunger. Not in some far off place, but right here in our communities - especially the rural small towns here in the Valley. More than 427,000 Wisconsinites have a hard time getting enough food to meet their basic needs, a situation commonly known as food insecurity. That's nearly half a million Wisconsinites who face hunger, including 171,460 children.</p> <p>Rural Wisconsin depends on local food banks to help cover food struggles, and sometimes those pantries need to get creative. Today we are taking you to one very unique food distribution program called Neighbor-to Neighbor. It was born out of desperate need in Manawa, a rural town of roughly 1,500, in Waupaca County. </p> <p>Show notes here: <a href='https://www.cffoxvalley.org/podcast/neighbor-to-neighbor/'>https://www.cffoxvalley.org/podcast/neighbor-to-neighbor/</a> </p>

Building Tomorrow's Leaders
<p>Many young people lack basic financial literacy skills, such as budgeting, saving, investing, and the importance of making informed financial decisions. Junior Achievement of Wisconsin teaches these life skills and so much more: The 100-year-old organization prepares students for the workforce by teaching them essential employability skills, such as teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking, along with entrepreneurship to help address the challenge of economic stagnation in our Fox Valley communities and beyond.</p> <p>Today we visit "JA BizTown," a town square model with storefronts and well-known businesses in our community. Many volunteers and supporters built the Community First Career Exploration and Financial Literacy Center on the Fox Valley Tech campus in Appleton, and it's a magical place where young people can imagine themselves in a career that they not only love, but can be equipped with the skills they need to flourish! </p> <p></p> <p>Resources and links at: <a href='https://www.cffoxvalley.org/podcast/building-tomorrows-leaders/'>https://www.cffoxvalley.org/podcast/building-tomorrows-leaders/</a> </p>

Hope for Addiction Recovery
<p>Did you know that drug and alcohol-related deaths in Wisconsin have tripled over the last 15 years? In this episode, we are talking about addiction and recovery. How big of a problem is addiction in our area, what’s being done already, and what are some of the barriers to finding the help people need? </p> <p>We are well familiar with Wisconsin’s reputation for being the drunkest state in the nation, where we have 1.3 times higher alcohol consumption rates than the national average. That’s according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.</p> <p>Wisconsin ranks 24th in the number of drug deaths in the U.S. And just in Winnebago County alone, deaths from drug overdoses have more than doubled over the past two years, with many other Wisconsin counties reporting similar significant increases.</p> <p>With this reality in mind, we want to share some hope and some resources in these show notes for anyone struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, or anyone interested in supporting the nonprofits who are working hard to make recovery possible, many of which have received generous support from Community Foundation donors. Scroll down to explore the many nonprofit resources available to help.</p> Listen: <p>bios</p> Resources: <ul><li><a href='Substance%20Abuse%20and%20Mental%20Health%20Services%20Administration%20(SAMHSA)'>Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helpline'>SAMHSA’s National Helpline</a> – 1-800-662-HELP (4357)</li> <li><a href='https://waupacarc.org/'>Waupaca Recovery Coalition</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.apricityservices.com/'>Apricity</a> – Drug and alcohol treatment, sober living homes, and employment</li> <li><a href='https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.genesisclub.info%2Findex.html&data=05%7C02%7Caspreeman%40cffoxvalley.org%7Cb6d4dc6ee3064cfbdd8308dc503584c5%7Cb70df32e1b634e7683aab386f4e76e7c%7C0%7C0%7C638473438007679654%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=HkkbqrMXcrIgp03hC3llqgqOy6OkZCWUo0Beiiy0McE%3D&reserved=0'>Genesis Club</a> – Drug and alcohol recovery meetings</li> <li><a href='https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.heliosheuristic.org%2Fprograms-and-services&data=05%7C02%7Caspreeman%40cffoxvalley.org%7Cb6d4dc6ee3064cfbdd8308dc503584c5%7Cb70df32e1b634e7683aab386f4e76e7c%7C0%7C0%7C638473438007684082%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5Rbec%2BKYGdtaelMtKAWnd3QxnXYuLbLOoB6y1hIqT5Y%3D&reserved=0'>Helios Heuristics</a> - Wrap-around program at the intersection of child welfare and substance use disorder</li> <li><a href='https://impactwi.org/'>Impact WI</a> – Recovery coaching and sober living homes</li> <li><a href='https://mohwi.org/'>Mission of Hope House</a> – Peer supported treatment</li> <li><a href='https://wishope.org/waupaca-location/'>Project Wishope Waupaca</a> – Drop-in recovery community center</li> <li><a href='https://www.shawanorecoverycenter.com/'>Shawano Menominee Resiliency Coalition</a> – Recovery center and sober living homes</li> <li><a href='https://unityrecoveryservices.org/about/'>Unity Recovery Services</a> – Peer support and resources</li> <li><a href='https://unityrecoveryservices.org/about/'>Treatment Atlas </a>National Comprehensive treatment locator</li> <li><a href='https://www.namifoxvalley.org/iris-place/'>Iris Place</a> Peer Run Respite</li> <li><a href='https://findtreatment.gov/'>FindTReatment.Gov</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/reports/rpt42731/2022-nsduh-main-highlights.pdf'> 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/opioids/data-reports-studies.htm'>Dose of Reality: Wisconsin Opioid Data </a></li> <li><a href='https://eliminatestigma.org/eliminate-stigma-by-eliminating-stigma/'>Eliminating Stigma: Understanding Empathy</a></li> </ul> <p>More at <a href='https://www.cffoxvalley.org/podcast/hope-for-addiction-recovery/'>https://www.cffoxvalley.org/podcast/hope-for-addiction-recovery/</a> </p>
