SWCAP offers diverse programs and services that help income eligible individuals and families in the areas of:

  • Health and Wellness: a network of education, financial assistance, and supportive counseling programs to help improve the physical and mental health of eligible area residents.
  • Housing: support programs for home repairs and energy upgrades, rental and buying assistance, as well as emergency housing.
  • Education: including the Head Start program for young children, the Foster Grandparents program, as well as continuing education and job skill improvement programs.
  • Transportation: LIFT provides transportation to medical appointments, work, school, and shopping. The Car Loans program is for income-eligible individuals who need financial assistance buying a car for work.
  • Employment: business development programs provide assistance for beginning and growing small businesses.

SWCAP also supports community programs such as food pantries, thrift stores, and Neighborhood Health Partners.

We support SWCAP in their mission of service and their work of helping those in our rural area overcome barriers, grow as individuals, and improve our local communities for future generations.

Happy 25th Work Anniversary, Aimee Mullarney!

Aimee:

Thanks for the first 25 years of great graphics and web design work at WebWise Design & Marketing!

I am so thankful you took a chance and joined me doing what people told us WebWise Design & Marketing couldn’t do back in 1996. Your incredible talent, willingness to learn in an ever changing online world, and loyalty allowed WebWise to survive and grow in those early years. There are reasons our websites continue to look great 25 years later, and those reasons start with you.

Thanks for 25 years of extraordinary work, and putting up with the boss!

  • Eat Well
  • Keep Fit
  • Managing Stress
  • Injury Prevention
  • Sleep Well
You are welcome and encouraged to comment on blog posts and recipes. The more comments and conversation, the better.
To paraphrase Chris Frakes, “In vibrant rural communities, neighbors help neighbors, build up and draw upon local assets, and foster supportive connections.”
If you are interested in supporting and promoting health and wellbeing within southwestern Wisconsin agricultural communities, they are seeking additional members of our Farmer Wellness Advisory Coalitions (FWAC). You may find contact information on farmwellwi.org.
Congratulations to Chris and her team members on the launch of the Farm Well Wisconsin website as they start spread the word about their vital mission!

Announcement, Web Design, Web Development / By /

The WebWise team is excited to announce a new wine shopping experience on the Whispering Bluffs Winery website. Working closely with the owner, Wes Helmick, Wine Maker, Larry Boyd, and Mary Beth Gerhards, the Whispering Bluffs Winery new website showcases their extraordinary award-winning wines, each having unique flavors and characteristics.Whispering Bluffs Winery Wine

Located in Potosi, Wisconsin, and nestled along the scenic Mississippi River, Whispering Bluffs Winery is a purveyor of an assortment of fine wines. Southwest Wisconsin is not Napa Valley, and Wes knew that many of the vines that flourished in California wouldn’t make it through a winter in the Midwest.

The wines from Whispering Bluffs Winery are Wisconsin grown and harvested from vines developed to withstand temperatures as low as 35 degrees below zero. Their cold-hardy Upper Mississippi Valley AVA* grapes are fermented and blended to create bold award-winning wines.

Fine wine makes a great gift for others and yourself. See and buy award-winning Whispering Bluffs Winery wines today!
