Mission Statement

WayForward Resources brings our community together to create food and housing security through action and advocacy. Our vision is a community where everyone has the stability to thrive. Thanks to generous community support and partnership, we serve more than 5,000 people in our community each year. We provide access to nutritious food and support that allows people to stay in their homes. Our case managers partner with clients to solve immediate needs and work toward their long-term goals.

Housing Stability
  • Our service area for housing programs includes Middleton, Cross Plains and west Madison.
  • We provide case management, referrals, and housing stability assistance.
