Wausau Rhinelander, WI, November 9, 2026 — The city of Wausau is seeing the launch of a new community initiative named “Share Your Holidays.” This campaign is a collaborative effort involving several local organizations, including WSAW, The Neighbors’ Place, the Salvation Army, and Peyton’s Promise.
The primary objective of the “Share Your Holidays” campaign is to offer assistance to residents within Wausau who are facing significant challenges. These difficulties are attributed to several economic factors, notably the ongoing rise in the cost of living and a reduction in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits available to eligible individuals and families.
In response to these pressing needs, the campaign is focused on collecting donations from the community. The collected contributions will be directed towards helping individuals and families meet their most basic necessities. The specific types of basic needs that will be addressed through donations were not detailed in the provided information.
The organizations involved, WSAW, The Neighbors’ Place, the Salvation Army, and Peyton’s Promise, are working together to coordinate the collection and distribution efforts. Further details regarding the specific methods of donation, the timeline for the campaign, and the precise ways in which collected funds or items will be distributed to aid residents were not publicly disclosed in the initial announcement.
