Our Community

Sun Prairie is a charming and thriving community that offers the appeal of small-town life within the bustling Madison metropolitan area. But Sun Prairie is experiencing growing pains. The social services that have always been here to support an increasing and somewhat hidden group of individuals and families in our community who need assistance are now at risk. It is time to create a new space to support our neighbors.

The purpose of Sunshine Place is to direct and administer the operation of a facility to house multiple charitable organizations providing social services needs to include but not be limited to food and clothing necessities in a manner that provides a single point of access to these services for the Sun Prairie community.
