Every year MWMF selects several charitable organizations who support kids and / or the arts in Winona. This year we are proud to announce that Winona’s Early Childhood Initiative (WECI) will be the sole recipient of funds from the fourth annual MWMF. WECI’s commitment to building a brighter future for the next generation of Winonans is in-step with what we value at the MWMF.
