Sorting & Rescuing Food at Just One More Ministry
Overview:
Just One More Ministry (JOMM) is a food rescue program that began back in 2008. The organization receives prepared foods, bakery, produce, and nonperishable donations from numerous businesses and redistributes it to over 90 Milwaukee area churches, food pantries, and homeless organizations.
This project has been a favorite among SBK families and we are excited to be back again on Saturday, July 27th from 8:30 to 10:30 am! Note: This date is updated from what was previously listed in our July newsletter.
What to expect:
Our tasks may change based on their most immediate needs to get food out the door, but we expect to be assembling outreach bags of food.
Capacity & Age Recommendations:
Any age is welcome at this project. We have space for approximately 3-4 families to sign up, dependent on the size of the SBK families attending (please use an accurate headcount in your registration for this reason).
What to wear:
This is an indoor warehouse so dress light if it's warm. Kids are welcome to wear their SBK shirts/lanyards if they would like.
Parking information:
The JOMM facility is located in an industrial park with warehouses. From Capitol Drive, turn north onto 1st St., which becomes Lydell St. Use your phone's navigation as there is not good signage from the road.
Project Leader: Laura Eisenmann
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.
This project is currently open to members* but we will be happy to open it up to guests of space allows approximately one week prior to the project date. 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 our Project Leader Laura 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!
