New Beds to Support Safe and Health Sleeping
“Last October, our family moved to Stoughton for a career opportunity, but we arrived with almost no resources or support. We didn’t even have beds for our children and didn’t have a solid plan for how they would sleep comfortably. START reached out and offered us assistance. START provided a beautiful bunk bed for our children and helped ease us into our lives in our new hometown. This was a massive blessing. We are very grateful. Thank you, START!”
START is a proud partner with United Way of Dane County and Siemer Institute for Family Stability.
