Supporting Abundant Life Christian School

It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the epidemic of school gun violence reached our community yesterday morning when a shooter at Abundant Life Christian School took several lives and sent many injured to the hospital. Our hearts are with the students, staff and families of Abundant Life, whose lives have been affected by this tragedy.

MCF stands united in grief with the community as we offer our support to those affected by the shooting. We are coordinating with United Way of Dane County, which has created the Abundant Life Christian School Emergency and Recovery Fund to support those affected by this event.

If you want to make an immediate gift to this fund, you can do so here, or by texting Help4ALCS to 40403. You also can support the fund through your donor advised fund at MCF.

At a time meant to be filled with joy and light, instead we confront a tragedy that is all too familiar to families across the country. To mourn and support each other as a community and begin the process of healing, please join us at a candlelight vigil tomorrow, which is being organized by the Boys and Girls Club of Dane County:
