SUMMARY:Serving Pantry Guests
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nWork with your child at the Kinship Community Fo
 od Center (formerly called Riverwest Food Pantry) – an organization focu
 sed on coming together around food to relieve hunger\, improve lives\, and
  grow community well-being. While their name has changed\, their mission i
 s still the same! Your child will be immersed in an environment where they
  will experience their capabilities to help others and also be mentored in
  acts of dignity and grace by those very same people. The Kinship Communit
 y Food Center embodies their motto: In a community of generosity everyone 
 gives and everyone receives.\nActivities\nYou and your child will assist s
 hoppers with registration and grocery selection\, help shoppers carry bags
 \, serve snacks to shoppers\, help in the kid's corner and clean up. Hands
 -on orientation and assignments are given upon arrival.\nDuring the summer
  months\, much of the produce that volunteers hand out to shoppers is grow
 n right here at Kinship’s Urban Farm. Making this farm-to-table connecti
 on with our kids helps them to understand the importance of growing fruits
  and vegetables as a way to fight food insecurity in our community. If you
 r family is interested\, we have opportunities to volunteer at the urban f
 arm (aka\, the "Hoop Houses") on Aug. 10 and Aug. 26.\nWe will also be col
 lecting reusable bags to donate to the pantry. Their goal is to eliminate 
 as many plastic shopping bags as possible. If you have extra reusable bags
  at home\, please consider bringing some with you to donate!\n\nPurpose\nH
 elp to eliminate food insecurity in Milwaukee.\nImpact\nKids will gain awa
 reness and understanding of how they can help their community in need and 
 have fun along the way!\nWhen &amp\; Where\nSaturday\, Aug. 19\n7:45-11 a.
