Gun violence impacts all of us, and we believe that community-led prevention efforts can truly save lives. This event offers a practical and peaceful way for residents to be part of the solution. We invite neighboring communities to participate as well.

Firearms will be safely collected in accordance with established protocols. Firearms that are blemished, scratched-off or involved in a crime will be collected by the local police department for further investigation. The unblemished, clean firearms will be sold by Shepard Arms, LLC (licensed FFL). The proceeds will be donated to WestCare of Wisconsin (non-profit) to assist with mental health programs, veterans services, educational services, emergency support and more.
In addition to firearm collection, the event also seeks community support and involvement. Organizers are actively encouraging local businesses, civic groups, churches, and individuals to participate by:
• Donating funds or resources to support buyback incentives, volunteering on-site
• Spreading awareness through social media and community networks
• Partnering as an official event sponsor or supporter
We can’t overstate the power of collective action. Every gun surrendered is a potential life saved.
Let’s take a stand for peace — together!
