The Holiday Help of East Troy program will continue this year featuring a collaborative approach to assisting local families in need. "It is through the generous support of local businesses, churches, organizations and community members that this program is able to continue," said East Troy Family and Community Resource Center coordinator Marolyn Komperud, who leads the five-year-old initiative. Komperud said the program model makes it easier than ever to provide families in need with gifts, winter clothing and a holiday meal during the holiday season.
In 2017, Holiday Help of East Troy served 78 families with a combined 166 children.
