Each year, the 500-member Association conducts three community-wide signature fund-raising sales to support the Association’s good works, a long list of which dates back to 1889. Proceeds from the Attic Sale, Classic Clothing Sale, and the Holidays Galore & More Sale all go toward that fiscal year’s outreach focus. In 2022-23, the focus was to provide support for families with school-age children to address housing insecurity.
Fund recipients for 2022-23 are as follows:
- Briarpatch Youth Services Connection Advocacy Program - $20,000
- Catholic Charities Housing Navigation Services Program - $15,000
- Middleton Outreach Ministry Connection Housing Program - $20,000
- Tenant Resource Center Evection Diversion and Defense Partnership - $4,654
- United Way Reduce School Mobility Program - $15,000
- YWCA family Housing Stability Program - $30,000
Attic Angel Association began in 1889, when two sisters earned the nickname “attic angels” by descending from their attic with armloads of goods to share with children less fortunate. Today, more than 500 members join their ranks to serve both children and seniors throughout Dane County, including those living in Attic Angel Community.
