Financially
Stepping Stones relies on many stakeholders to accomplish its work. It is most financially stable when many people offer support by giving what they can.
Contributions in honor of a special occasion or an individual, or given as a memorial are welcome and are recognized in the quarterly newsletter.
You can support Stepping Stones’ work financially by sending a check made out to Stepping Stones to 1602 Stout Rd., Menomonie, WI 54751.
You may also choose to set up regular automatic withdrawals from your checking or savings accout. Click on the link to download the form.
All contributions are tax deductible. Stepping Stones is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
All three of our programs have ongoing wish/needs lists. Please consider donating these items if you have extra or wouldn’t mind adding them to your shopping list for us.
