Good food, great conversation and a little trip down memory lane!

Once a month, the O'Connor Connective team steps away from our screens to enjoy lunch together. It’s a chance to connect, recharge and enjoy each other’s company. Every team lunch also includes a look at one of our past projects – highlighting where we've been, what we’ve learned and how it shapes the work we do today.

Our presentation this month came from Patrick, who shared all about his experience as a summer intern. We wish Patrick the best of luck as he returns to school at Marquette University!

Everyone deserves a safe and welcoming place to call home.

O’Connor Connective partnered with KeysWI to facilitate a community workshop as part of My Housing Voice, a research project funded by the Basic Needs Giving Partnership in collaboration with First Place Global. The initiative is focused on gathering input from people with disabilities, their families, and support networks to help shape housing policies that better reflect real experiences and needs.

Accessible housing remains an important issue for many Wisconsin families, and we’re proud to support efforts that ensure community voices are heard.

During National Volunteer Week, we’re taking a moment to recognize the power in showing up.

Our team is proud to give back in ways both big and small, from serving on boards to rolling up our sleeves. It’s one way we live our values and stay connected to the communities where we live and work.

This week, we also want to recognize those who show up for others. So many of the nonprofit organizations we partner with rely on volunteers to carry their missions forward. The time, talent and generosity of volunteers make our communities stronger.

Thank you to all who contribute where they can to make a difference!
