Jack and Jill went up the hill . . .

Fonder Ponders column by Jackson Fonder

Later this fall, Catholic Charities will open the new Homeless Day Resource Center in Madison.

We have a lot of plans for the center, but right now I’m asking for your help because we are missing something . . . the center needs a name! I’m asking all of you to help by participating in our naming campaign!

Please give it some real thought. We need a good, strong, meaningful name that will stand the test of time.

100,000 steps (Part II)

Fonder Ponders column by Jackson Fonder

(Part II of a two-part series.)

Thank you for your prayers last week during my Grand Canyon run.

My journey started with a group of four men and two women ages 25 to 58. At 3:10 a.m. on October 26, we knew we had a long trail ahead of us. While it was daunting and emotions were mixed with fear and anticipation, we all commented about the beauty and light of the moon.

On most early mornings, I can be found on the trails of the many parks around south central Wisconsin.

Through the years, I have had many opportunities to run in some unique and stunning landscapes around the world. For me, running is not just physical, but helps keep me grounded mentally and spiritually.

How will you answer the call?

Fonder Ponders column by Jackson Fonder

About five years ago, I left a wonderful job in corporate America to join the nonprofit sector and have not looked back.

I can’t tell you exactly what it was that compelled me to make such a drastic move. Over the years I had worked with many nonprofits, mostly as a volunteer, and loved the work and people involved. It just felt like it was the right thing to do. Almost like it was a calling.
