This Month’s Benevolence – November 2026

November 2026

Everyone deserves a chance to be healthy

What if you had to choose between filling a prescription and buying
groceries? What if you put off seeing a doctor because you couldn’t afford
the appointment? What if a manageable health problem became a serious
one simply because you couldn’t get care?

For too many of our neighbors, these aren’t hypothetical questions.
They’re everyday realities.

This November, our Benevolence Program supports two local
organizations working to ensure that cost doesn’t stand in the way of good
health: Our Lady of Hope Clinic in Middleton and Community
Connections Free Clinic in Dodgeville.

● Our Lady of Hope provides primary medical care to people without
health insurance, helping patients receive the attention they need
before small health concerns become serious problems. Its work is
rooted in the belief that everyone deserves compassionate, high-quality
medical care, regardless of their ability to pay.

● Community Connections Free Clinic serves people in southwest
Wisconsin who face financial barriers to health care. With the help of
dedicated volunteers and community supporters, the clinic provides
essential medical services and helps patients connect with additional
resources.

Both organizations do more than treat illnesses. They offer reassurance,
dignity, and peace of mind to people who might otherwise go without care.

As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, many of us are grateful for our
health and the ability to seek medical attention when we need it. But not
everyone has that security.

Through November’s Benevolence offering, we have an opportunity to
share our blessings and help make compassionate health care accessible to
more of our neighbors.

Because everyone deserves a chance to be healthy.
