REQUEST FOR DONATIONS

 

Fellow Rotarians,

I volunteer at the food pantry of the Jim Luther New Hope Center.  The Center has a food distribution and a food cooperative program. In the food distribution, they serve 4,000 families each year with an emergency short-term supply of food. The food cooperative program is a communal program that's designed to help feed families while also empowering community leaders to take action in their own lives and invest in the neighborhood.  Located at 1414 W. Becher Street, off I-94 near downtown Milwaukee, they are open Tuesday from 12:30 - 2:30 pm and Wednesday from 4:00 - 6:00 pm.

 

I usually help  with the intake process and in many cases I am able to assist people whose  English is not their first language.  I recently became aware of the need for several items listed bellow.

If you are able, please donate any of these items.  We will collect items on May 10 and May 17. Meet us at the parking lot.

 

 

 

The center is also in need for volunteers for Wednesday’s activities. I encourage you to consider the possibility of volunteering, the experience and the obvious gratitude of the people we help is very humbling and rewarding. To learn more about volunteering, please contact Ann Luba at 414-909-9223 abutlerluba@gmail.com

 

Thank you.,

Lucia and McKenna
