Thank you for supporting 91.9FM The Family’s Help for the Homeless Hygiene Drive in Oshkosh, Appleton, and Green Bay!

Because of your generosity, Vida was able to collect donations for each of our locations and supplies are now being distributed to help families right in your community.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated, to the organizers and host sites at each location, and to the many volunteers who gave their time and energy along the way! Your support helps ensure families have access to essential items and reminds them they are seen, valued, and cared for.

Father Tom Long of St. Raphael the Archangel Catholic Church in Oshkosh shares a powerful reminder that prayer is the backbone of life-affirming ministries like Vida. While the needs around us may change, prayer keeps us rooted in Christ’s love and sustains our staff, volunteers, and the families we serve each day.

Our Prayer Warrior Campaign is an ongoing invitation for all of us to take part in this important life-affirming work through prayer.

But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." - Luke 2:10-12

May His love and presence fill you with hope and joy this Christmas season.

From all of us at Vida, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

Pastor Aaron Soto, Senior pastor of Apostolic Truth Church Appleton WI , shares a heartfelt message about the impact of prayer and reminds us that prayer may seem like the least we can do, but it is truly the greatest gift we can offer.

We’re excited to announce our Prayer Warrior Campaign, launching in 2026! Our hope is to cover Vida’s ministry in prayer every day, and ultimately, every hour. Prayer is a powerful force for hope, protection, and transformation. Sign-up here: https://schedule.planhero.com/groups/ef1800504/vida-prayer

What a joyful time Vida Parent Support Services had celebrating the Christmas season with our Baby & Me families! Special thanks to John Smith for sharing beautiful Christmas music and for teaching the parents about their baby’s amazing sense of hearing.

The little ones loved the holiday tunes, and everyone enjoyed decorating Christmas cookies together. It was sweet time!

Take a look at some festive photos from the group. ❤️🎄
