Community In the News

A Madison radio station rallied listeners to help families in need during the holiday season.

Life 102.5 (WNWC) launched Christmas Kindness to help families facing financial, medical, or other difficulties. In its first year, they helped four families.

One family’s home had been struck by severe weather leaving it unlivable. The couple and their one-year-old child were facing $40,000 in repairs after insurance. Listeners were able to provide financial assistance.

Another woman nominated her mother who faced health challenges and constant car troubles, making it difficult to get to appointments and to see her grandkids. Listeners were able to provide her with a reliable car.
