During the recent Alva Chamber Community Coffee meeting, a significant highlight was the announcement of a generous $9,300 donation from BankIt to support senior citizens in Wisconsin. This contribution underscores the importance of community support and the impact of local donors.

The speaker emphasized the role of small donations in driving community initiatives, noting that many contributors give as little as $1. This grassroots approach has proven effective, with the community on track to raise nearly $700,000 by the end of the year for various local causes. The speaker encouraged attendees to consider contributing, stating that even a small donation can make a difference.

A key focus of the fundraising efforts is the Bridge to Hope program, which provides essential assistance to individuals in need. The program acts as a liaison, helping people access resources like the rainy day fund, which offers financial support during tough times. The collaboration between local organizations and community members is vital in ensuring that those who require help receive it.

The meeting served as a reminder of the power of collective action and the importance of community involvement in addressing local needs. As the town continues to rally support for initiatives like Bridge to Hope, residents are encouraged to participate and contribute to the betterment of Alva.
