Circle
of Friends, Inc.
is
a non profit organization in
Sheboygan
County
and our purpose is to provide basic needs such as food, clothing, and
educational items to families who lack the financial resources to secure these
necessities. Around the holidays, we also receive many requests for
holiday gifts for families who have few or no extra resources for such items.
We rely on recommendations from the
Sheboygan
Area
School District
staff and the Department of Human Resources staff to assist us in becoming
aware of families that are in need of our assistance. When a staff member
becomes aware of a student’s or family’s needs they complete a request form.
(Families may not self-refer.) Once completed, the request form is returned to
the building administrator/supervisor for review and then forwarded to the
Circle of Friends, Inc. Board members review the requests and decide how to best
assist each family. We operate by providing purchase orders to local businesses.
The purchase orders list the types of items the family may purchase and the
maximum dollar amount they may spend. Together we can offer the children
in our community a helping hand through the Circle of Friends, Inc. Contact
Lois McHenry at 208-1525.
