Sandwich Making for Guest House of Milwaukee
Overview:
Please join us from 4:00-5:00 pm on Thursday, May 25 to make sandwiches which will be handed out to Guest House of Milwaukee's clients the following day.
Guest House provides shelter, housing, education and services to Milwaukee’s homeless who seek to transform their lives with dignity and purpose.
What to expect:
Guest house serves 200-400 sandwiches daily. We will be dividing up the supplies to make 200 sandwiches & assembling the sandwiches, getting them ready to distribute the next day.
Capacity & Age Recommendations:
Children need to be age 7 or older for this project. We have space for approximately 3 families depending on the size of families that register - please use an accurate headcount in your registration for this reason.
What to bring:
In order to make this project a success, we are asking all families who register to commit to bringing items for the sandwiches, no matter how big or small. Bringing supplies to donate helps kids personally connect to the project, knowing the item(s) they brought are helping other families. NOTE: If you would like to participate but are unable to bring items, please let us know via email (confidential) and we will buy supplies on your behalf. We just want to make sure we have enough supplies to pack.
The project leader will follow up with Sign Up Genius one week before the project so that sandwich supplies can be divided among the participating families.
What to wear:
Please wear comfortable clothes and tie long hair back. Kids can wear their Sunbeam Kids shirts if they want!
Additional information:
Street parking is available along 13th St. and it's ok to park on the west side despite No Parking signs. Go to the front door by the welcome sign, ring the doorbell, and you will be buzzed in. Head upstairs to the right. The project leader will be on the look out for volunteers.
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.
This project is open to members* only, but we will be happy to open it up to guests if space allows. Please only sign up if you know you can attend. We understand illness and emergencies do come up so if you register and can no longer attend, please let us know ASAP so we can fill your spot.
A big thanks to Advisory Council member Beth for leading this project, and thank you for lending a little hand!

*While we rely on member donations to keep the good work going, we never want the $40/family/year to be a hurdle to volunteering with us. If you are in need of assistance, we do have a limited number of scholarships available that are 100% confidential, just email and ask!
