Bridging the gap between African Americans in our community.

Our Mission:

Our purpose is to support, advocate, listen, and bridge the gap between African Americans in our community. All of our services aim to help people of color receive resources that support their needs. We use a cultural approach that helps our clients feel comfortable and not judged. Our services meet the specific needs of the African American community in Western Wisconsin.

We believe in empowering the African American family by providing support groups and giving our families the tools they need to be successful, while allowing them to not feel wronged or convicted as a result of their cultural upbringing or their family values. We will stress our client's strengths and resilience and help them to problem-solve the issues they are faced with every day. We also support single parents and individuals seeking services. Our culturally-specific programs and services, combined with our powerful advocacy and civic engagement, empower Black communities to thrive across Western Wisconsin.

United Way + Hope Restores

Seeing a need to support, advocate, listen and bridge the gap between and for African Americans in our community, we formed our organization to provide a central hub with sensible solutions. We've consistently grown since then, all thanks to the people committed to ending racism in this amazing community!
