Speaker:  Isaiah Moengen - Lakes Area Heroes

Isaiah is a local realtor with Woods to Water Real Estate and the founder of Lakes Area Heroes, a non-profit organization focused on supporting Law Enforcement, Firefighters, EMS personnel, and their families during times of need.

The goal of Lakes Area Heroes is to strengthen our community by helping our local heroes and their families by providing resources when they are in need. Local law enforcement, Fire and EMS personnel serve our communities when tragedy occurs in our neighborhoods. Lakes Area Heroes recognizes when illness, accidents or other events happen to our selfless heroes, they don't expect or ask for help. Lakes Area Heroes would like to return the favor, with your assistance by providing resources such as financial aid and volunteer services in these times of need. We care and appreciate all our heroes do for our community and together we can make our community even stronger.

If you know someone that is struggling and falls into this category, please reach out to Lakes Area Heroes. They want to help!
