Erin Guenterberg

Waukesha County | Individual Winner

Through Lake Country Family Fun, Erin connects families to their local communities. She enjoys simplifying the lives of local parents and showering them with giveaways to bring in unique experiences to create new memories with their families. Over the past year, I've grown the reach of Lake Country Family Fun dramatically while continuing to spotlight local businesses, events, nonprofits, and family experiences, so families can make more memories and feel connected to their communities. I also partnered with Today's TMJ4 for a weekly summer segment to broaden the reach even more. The community can assist and support by helping me and my team to sustain and grow that mission without losing the personal/community feel that makes LCFF special.

My mission is simple: to be a reason someone smiles, to make people feel seen, heard, and supported, and to bring a little more kindness and joy to the community I call home. The initiative I’m most proud of is using my business as a way to give back—whether that’s donating services, supporting local causes, or simply creating moments where someone feels valued and cared for. It’s about using what I have to make a difference, even in small ways. Everyone has a gift to share. If the people I’m able to touch with mine feel inspired to pass that kindness on in their own way, I truly believe our community—and world—would be a better place.

Farm to Porch Delivery Service - Lake Country

Farm to Porch was created to make it easier for families to get fresh food and better, safer products into their homes. The reality is, families don’t have the time to visit farms, farm stands and farmers markets every week. So we bring the products to you. Farm to Porch makes it easier to shop local and support the farmers and makers who put their time, hard work and passion into what they grow and create. And when you shop local, that money stays right here in our community. Honestly, I’m most proud of simply seeing this vision come to life. What started as a God-sized idea just a few months ago has already grown into something that is supporting our local farmers, with more than $100,000 going back to them in less than four months. Over 900 times we have dropped a delivery off on a family's porch. The support we’ve received and the community that has grown around it has been incredibly meaningful to me, and I truly believe we’re just getting started! The best way to support Farm to Porch is to try it. One of the greatest compliments we’ve received is seeing customers come back week after week, and then tell their friends and family about it. I know changing the way we shop isn’t easy, but if we want to keep small farms alive and have more control over what we’re bringing into our homes, we have to start making different choices about where we spend our dollars.

Waukesha County | Business Winner

Our mission is to create more than just a coffee shop — we want to be a place where everyone feels welcome and belongs. We love bringing people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds together to connect, relax, and be part of the community. At the end of the day, we believe a good cup of coffee, some comfort food, and a welcoming space can go a long way in bringing people together. Giving back has always been a big part of who we are at Sippie Hippie, and we’re proud to use our space and community to support the people, families, and organizations around us. From our holiday toy drive and Rhett’s Car Show to collecting supplies for pets impacted by recent tornadoes, we’re always looking for ways to make a difference. One of our favorite partnerships is our Vinyl Night Giveback, where local nonprofit leaders become our honorary DJs for the night while raising funds and awareness for causes that mean so much to our community. You can be part of this mission simply by showing up, getting involved, and supporting the events and causes we care about. Whether you donate, attend a giveback night, bring in needed supplies, or help spread the word, every little bit makes an impact. Together, we can continue building a community where people feel connected, supported, and included.
