School is right around the corner so we are giving away some free supplies to those in need - while supplies last. Come on in during business hours (Tues-Sat 8-3) and check out what we have and if you need some of it for your children, it is yours, for free, no purchase required. We are limiting it to one of each item for each child so that we have more to go around to as many people as possible. The Victory Revival Center is located at 1632 North Broadway (former Kernel location). From the Victory Revival Center Facebook page.

This wish list is made up of items that supplement the Cairn House Shelter and other programs and operations.

Did you know there's an easy way to give back and support current Stout students? Blaze’s Career Closet accepts donations of gently used professional clothing to help students dress confidently for career-building events. If you have suits, blazers, dress shirts, slacks, or accessories that are modern and/or purchased within the last 5-6 years that you no longer need, consider donating them to help a Blue Devil take the next step in their career journey. Find out how you can help HERE.

We are looking for local dog and cat fosters! Fostering frees up shelter space and gives pets a loving home while they wait to be adopted. It helps socialize animals, prepares them for their forever homes, and lets you experience pet care without the costs or long-term commitment. Plus, it’s incredibly rewarding! Open your heart and home—foster a pet today! Find more information and apply HERE. From the Dunn County Humane Society Facebook page.
