It is really wonderful that the Mukwonago community can now help their neighbor right here at home.”

CAC believes the creation of this center would not only greatly increase the capacity of all social service agencies that serve Mukwonago residents, but would also support more seamless collaborative relationships to provide vital services to Mukwonago’s low-income population.
