In 1990 Eileen Mooers made a compassionate decision to help people in the local area that were in need of essential items. Along with her friend Tricia Rauch they collected donations of clothing and household goods for distribution. Lake Country Caring (LCC) was born out of this experience, and later expanded to provide items to people living in Waukesha, Washington, Dodge and Jefferson Counties. As the number of donated items and clientele grew, LCC required more space and moved to our current location on Progress Drive in Hartland in 2005.
After 30 years, LCC remains a 100% volunteer organization, with an unpaid board and over 100 volunteers working approximately 1400 hours every month. These volunteers enable us to provide items to our clients free of charge. Every month there are over 350 family visits to LCC and over 20 new clients.
LCC is a licensed 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and operational expenses are supported by monetary donations from service and community organizations, companies, churches, grants, individuals, groups and families. If you would like to help by donating either time or money, please click on the “How You Can Help” or “Monetary Donations” tabs.
We respect the dignity of every client, donor, and volunteer, and LCC does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation.
