At Home Project: Snack drive for Shechem at Hope Street
Overview:
Hope Street describes itself as "The Greenhouse for People on 26th and Capitol" that provides housing and community to empower broken men, women, and children. Shechem is a community center next door to Hope Street with a gymnasium, café, classrooms, event space, and a resource room that has a thriving after-school program for middle and high schoolers.
SBK will be collecting various single-serving snacks to fill up the shelves at Shechem. Let's make sure all the kids that spend time at the community center have plenty to eat after school!
Drop off details:
We have porch drop off options in Brookfield, Greendale, Menomonee Falls, Pewaukee, and Wauwatosa. Specific addresses of all drop off locations will be e-mailed upon registration. You can drop off at any of the designated locations between Saturday, May 16th - Thursday , May 28th. Any size donation is very much appreciated!
Needed items:
Listed are the top requested items, however anything packaged and single-serving size is welcome. Non-perishable pantry meals (ramen or microwave meals for example) are also great.
Suggested items from Shechem:
- Cheez-Its
- granola bars
- chips
- beef sticks
- bread (we have SO much PB&J but nothing to put it on!)
- fruit snacks
- trail mix
- juice boxes/ gatorade
- yogurt pouches
- goldfish
- crackers
- muffins
- fruit is lovely like clementines
If you choose to donate one of the items with a shorter shelf-life like clementines or fresh bakery, please drop it off toward the end of our collection period (the week of 5/25). All donated items will be collected and delivered at the same time so we want everything to be fresh for the kids and teens receiving the snacks!

To participate, please register with the link above- guests are welcome to participate as well. We will e-mail you a list of drop off addresses with your registration confirmation, and you can drop off any of the above items between 5/16 and 5/28.
Have a youth leader that wants to make a bigger impact? Kids can reach out to their sports teams, clubs, local groups, etc. to coordinate a snack drive within their group and deliver to one of SBK's drop off points by 5/28.
