Trinity Lutheran Church is supporting BASE and the kids they serve when they need it most. Amidst a global pandemic, Trinity Lutheran Church opened up their doors back in September to BASE so the organization could run critical virtual learning support programs through December. The all day virtual learning support program helped kids with their online schooling and provided enrichment activities in the afternoon. In addition to providing much needed space for operations, they also recently donated $5,000 to BASE to continue their operations after school and into the summer. "At Trinity, we love our community and want to support the good work BASE does for kids and families." said Reverend Amy Waelchli.
“We can not thank Trinity Lutheran Church enough. When we thought we would have to close our programs, they graciously allowed us to utilize their space so we could provide virtual learning support to kids who really needed it. Their additional donation allows us to continue all of our work into our after school & summer programs.” said Alicia Norris, BASE Executive Director.
BASE is accepting new membership applications for after school and summer programs for kids who are 7 years old and attend one of the Fort Atkinson School District’s elementary schools. The organization operates after school from 3-6pm in the four public elementary schools and offers a full day, 10 week summer program. BASE is also open on early release days and select no school days.
BASE relies on donations from the community to keep the program accessible to all youth. For more information about BASE or to donate, visit www.basefortatkinson.org, follow BASE on Facebook and Instagram.
