Moms Mental Health Initiative (MMHI) is looking for KIC family volunteers to assist with their Summer Social. MMHI Summer Social is a family-friendly fundraising event that unites the community in celebration of the strength of their participants and the immeasurable power of togetherness.

One in five moms experiences a perinatal mental health condition, like postpartum depression. The Summer Social honors those who have walked through a perinatal mental health journey and forged ahead in the work to support those who will travel the path in the future. Funds raised from this event will allow MMHI to continue offering hope and help to perinatal people struggling in Southeast Wisconsin and Dane County.

What to expect:

• • – A Park Pals Meetup
  • – Workout with After Baby Fit
  • – A Music & Mindfulness session from Music Wellness with McKenzie
  • – Silent Auction & Raffle
  • – Refreshments
  • – Kids Crafts brought to you by NEIGHBOR Art Studio + Therapy and Tosa Pediatrics
  • – Baby Area brought to you by Wisco Lactation
  • – Proof of Mom Photo Area brought to you by Success Lactation
  • – Obstacle Course brought to you by Bright Beginnings Pediatric Chiropractor

Activities

Specifically, we are looking for one family for each of the following jobs:

• • – SETUP (7-9:30 a.m.): Help put everything in place – from tables/chairs/tents to the items that go on top of them. Heavy lifting is not necessary, but light lifting may be.
  • – EVENT SUPPORT (Shift One: 9-10:30 a.m. | Shift Two: 10:30-Noon): Support may be needed at the refreshments area, the raffle, duck game, or silent auction support. We will also need volunteers in the baby area to help keep track of toys and floaters to check in at the various stations.
  • – TAKE DOWN (Noon-2 p.m.): Help re-box materials, take down tables/chairs/tents, and do general tidying of the space so we leave it clean for its next users!

***Even if you cannot volunteer, we welcome you to attend this wonderful community event with MMHI!

Impact

Kids will get to use their time and love to support our partner organization, and make a positive difference in the lives of moms in Wisconsin while having fun at the Summer Social.
