Join us in preparing and serving a hot dinner to women and their children (about 70 total) staying at the Women’s Center Shelter. Founded in 1980, the Milwaukee Women’s Center provides comprehensive services and treatment for women, men, and children whose lives have been affected by domestic violence, addiction, mental health issues, homelessness, and poverty.
Activities
Our volunteer group of children and caregivers will serve dinner to about 35 women and their children staying at the shelter. KIC will be bringing food to prepare on-site. You can sign up to bring ingredients that are needed. There is a kitchen at the center where we will prep the meal service. Then we will serve dinner to the women and their children. Following the meal, we will clean up.
Impact
Kids and their caregivers will brighten the evening of families staying at the shelter. Kids will see that serving others can be fun and that they are capable of making a difference.

Wednesday, July 24 from 5-7 p.m. (Dinner service begins at 6 p.m.)
Milwaukee Women’s Center Shelter of Community Advocates is in the Burnham Park Neighborhood (for the safety of the residents, addresses will be provided after sign-up).
