THE SUNSHINE PLACE
The Sunshine Place is a non-profit organization that supports the Sun Prairie area in multiple ways. The Sunshine Place acts as a point of access to connect local residents to various social service programs, including Sunshine Supper, Stuff the Bus, and more. They are also partnered with various non-profits, including the Sun Prairie Emergency Food Pantry, which is where donations through Project Relief will be going. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, the volunteers at Sun Prairie Emergency Food Pantry have been working tirelessly to package and deliver food to those who need it, and they need YOUR donations to be able to continue their work, as they are 100% donor-funded.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL - MADISON
At Project Relief, we are dedicated to helping St. Vincent de Paul, a local organization that aims to support the Madison community in various ways. St. Vinny’s provides many services, including a food pantry, charitable pharmacy, housing programs, furniture and clothing voucher program, and more. The organization receives half of their funds from their thrift stores and the other half from donations, but since the COVID-19 crisis, they have had to shut down the stores for the time being. So, that means that YOUR donations are more important than ever right now, and every dollar will go a long way in providing relief for St. Vinny’s. To learn more about St. Vinny’s, visit their website here.
