A program that helps pregnant women and mothers of young children in the area will get much-needed funds thanks to an initiative by Nicolet National Bank on Monday.  The “Cradle to Career” program through Lakeshore Cap will receive the proceeds from the “Souper Bake Sale” at Nicolet Bank’s downtown location in Sturgeon Bay. Nicolet Bank Branch Manager Paula Englebert says the event is part of the bank’s focus during Power of Community week in which volunteering is stressed.  She shares how the fundraiser on Monday is something extra special for non-profit organizations.

Englebert says the Door County Cradle to Career (DCCTC) program touched the hearts of Nicolet Bank staff.  The program offers support regularly and helps to access needs and connects people to supportive services.  They develop a personalized plan for a career and improve stability for families while offering support for education and job training. Monday’s “Souper Bake Sale will offer a variety of soups for $5 a cup and baked goods as well from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
