Our community is important to us and through the years we have supported local charities and causes. In late 2009 we decided to take this even further and actively support a specific charity each month. Gilles matches your donations dollar for dollar, and 100% of the monies we collect go to the charity. Due to the generous contributions from our wonderful and caring customers and those from Gilles, this program has been a terrific success. Thank you for helping us give back to those in need in our community!
If you have a suggestion for a charity for us to highlight, please let us know by using this link. When choosing a charity we focus on those that help people directly and have administrative costs of 10% or less.
The Monthly Charity for October is Kathy's House. Find out more about their great work at https://kathys-house.org/.
Kathy's House, located next to Froedtert Hospital, is a "home away from home" for people & families in need of hospital care in our area. They are dedicated to providing patients & their caregivers a warm & welcome environment during their stay.
