“When I came to Carroll University it was easy to feel right at home on campus, But my time at the Hope Center connected me to the community making Waukesha feel like home. All of the people at the center are so grateful and happy when we come to help. And I feel myself smiling the entire time I am there. The Carroll Community and Waukesha Community are like a family, and that support and love is felt so great in the work that the Hope Center is able to provide” – Allison Klauke, Carroll Student
