❓What does the coalition actually do? Be Well Waupaca County, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is dedicated to building a healthier, more connected community for all. Here’s how we bring that mission to life:

✨ Enhance health and wellbeing
We support community initiatives that increase access to nutritious foods—like expanding EBT access and food incentive programs at local farmers markets 🥕🌽

💪 Empower and advocate
We listen, connect, and respond to community needs through resource fairs, community conversations, interactive exhibits, simulations, and more 🤝

🍎 Promote healthy environments
We help create spaces where people can thrive—where we live, learn, work, and play—by focusing on Access, Connectedness, and Community Engagement. Think Fun Runs 🏃‍♀️, You Belong Block Parties 🎉, turquoise tables 💙, community gardens 🌱, and more!

✨🌱 SPRING is the perfect season to refresh your health routines, boost your immunity, and get moving outdoors after our long Wisconsin winter. ☀️❄️➡️🌷

You might feel the urge to spring clean your home—or even reset your daily habits. Longer daylight hours can also be a great time to gently adjust your sleep schedule and soak up more natural light. 🌅

🥗 Fresh, local produce is just around the corner—keep an eye out for those first bundles of asparagus and other early spring veggies! Eating with the seasons is a simple way to nourish your body and support local growers.

What’s one way you’re embracing spring wellness? 🌼💬

Today (Tuesday) is the LAST DAY of our Holiday Food Box fundraiser. We’re feeling so grateful for the generosity this community has already shown to help us feed local families this season!!

Thanks to incredible community support, we’ve raised $2,295 toward our $6,500 goal. We still have a gap to close, and every contribution helps. Each $45 funds one Holiday Food Box for a family right here in Waupaca County.

If you’ve been meaning to give, now is the time.
It takes a village. Be part of the village.

Four years ago, our coalition member Christi Nichole helped spark an idea that’s grown into something our community looks forward to each year.

As she shared recently:
"Four years ago a community partner came to me saying 'I was awarded a grant to buy 150 turkeys to distribute to families in need for Thanksgiving. Can you help me distribute them?'
We met her with 'why just give away turkeys when we could host a food drive and complement the turkey with an entire box of holiday foods?'"

This year, the need is higher and funding is lower. We’re collaborating with the Wisconsin Food Hub Cooperative to support local farmers and producers in assembling special holiday food boxes for families.

You can help us keep this going — every $45 funds one Holiday Food Box for a local family right here in Waupaca County.
