In response to the devastating and fatal shooting at Abundant Life Christian School (ALCS) on Monday, United Way of Dane County has established the Abundant Life Christian School Emergency and Recovery Fund. All funds raised will go directly to ALCS to support those impacted by the tragic events.

“Our hearts go out to every student, family and educator who has been affected by this act of violence,” says Renee Moe, president and CEO of United Way of Dane County, in a press release announcing the fund. “While our collective reality is forever changed, United Way of Dane County stands ready to help our community recover. Please give with your hearts to support our neighbors through this difficult time. Every dollar counts.”

To give to the fund, visit www.unitedwaydanecounty.org or text help4ALCS to 40403.

“We are overwhelmed by the community’s support and grateful for United Way’s assistance,” says Doug Butler, principal of Abundant Life Christan School. “We will be announcing a transparent process for funds distribution once we understand clearly what is needed and how best to support our families and school.”
