Share the Plate
“Share the Plate” will be split with half going to support our Fellowship’s ministries, and the other half going to support a worthy organization.
May 2025 Share-the-Plate: Fox Valley Literacy 
The Mission of Fox Valley Literacy is to share the power of learning to transform lives and enrich the community.
Fox Valley Literacy provides free tutoring for adult learners in Outagamie, Waupaca, northern Calumet and northern Winnebago counties. By working to increase education levels, they are empowering individuals to create change in our community. They offer support in general education, English language learning, Hmong family literacy, civics and citizenship, financial literacy, digital literacy, and more. In Wisconsin, 1 out of 7 adults struggle with basic literacy. Fox Valley Literacy served over 700 students in 2024 and is continually striving to shorten its waiting list to support more students. They are fully funded through private and individual giving, which has shielded them from recent federal cuts, but they recently lost 70 hours per week of staff time when the Americorps program was abruptly ended.
