*Thank you to everyone who was so kind to attend our waffle breakfast fundraiser this past Saturday. The turnout was great, and we are so thankful! An extra thank you to everyone who provided delicious goodies for our bake sale as well!!

*Each year the Winona DAC does our best to give back to our community by hosting DAC Christmas Cares. If you know of some kiddos who are going to be in need of some extra Christmas cheer, please go to our “events” tab and nominate their family. We provide wrapped gifts for community children all while allowing their family to take the credit. We believe every kiddo deserves a present to open on Christmas morning and so we do what we can to help others out. 

*Congratulations to our November Employee of the Month, Heather! More fun information about Heather is available under our “about” tab.

*Reminder DAC is closed November 27th and 28th so our individuals and staff are able to celebrate Thanksgiving.
