We loved helping create emergency duffel bags for children in foster care! Our staff and their families got involved in a day of “we can help!”.

The team at Gingras, Thomsen and Wachs helped out local kids who are placed in the foster care system. They donated duffel bags and suitcases filled with personal items like pajamas and toiletries. They were donated to the Kids Kloset of Eau Claire Lutheran Social Services. Donations for the project can be dropped off during business hours at Lutheran Social Services on Clairemont Avenue or mailed.
