Waunakee Neighborhood Connection

There are many ways to support WNC.  Whichever you choose, we thank you for the help! 

Monetary Donations

Currently, Waunakee Neighborhood Connection only receives its funding from our generous neighbors like you.  We need monetary donations to not only pay for our programming, but to also pay for things like rent, utilities, and phone service for the WNC store.  Please consider making a general donation, either via check or online with a credit card, bank account or PayPal account. All monetary donations are tax-deductibleand receipts will be e-mailed or mailed to you after your donation is received.  Checks should be made out to Waunakee Neighborhood Connection and mailed to 215 S. Century Ave.  #316  Waunakee WI 53597.  Online donations can be made by clicking the donate button below, or on the left side of any page on our website. 

In Kind Donations

By donating goods from our Client Needs List or any new or gently used clothing, personal or household items, you are helping a neighboring family in our area obtain items they might not otherwise be able to afford.  All donations to WNC are tax-deductible so don’t forget to pick-up or ask for a tax donation receipt when making your donation.  In kind donations can be dropped off at the WNC Store during any of the scheduled drop-off times.  You can also review our donation guidelines to find out more about what we can use.  

Have a large item such as furniture and appliances and have no way of getting it to us?  No problem, just email us at info@waunakeenc.com and our volunteers with coordinate a pick-up time with you and deliver it right to a client in need. 

Need to drop-off some items but our store is closed?  You can now drop off donations at the Waunakee Police Station at 205 N. Klein Drive, Waunakee, WI 53597 - just  north of the Waunakee Post Office.  The police station is open Monday - Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

So help save the planet through recycling and support WNC at the same time! Cartridges can be dropped off at the WNC Store during store hours (see calendar) or can be dropped off with other donations at the Waunakee Police Department (Monday-Friday, 7a-5p).
