  Sandwich Making at the Guest House
  On 4/29 we'll be back at one of our favorite places, Guest House homeless shelter. Guest House helps homeless people get back on their feet - permanently and with dignity. We'll be making sandwiches for the guests to support them in their efforts!  There will also be an opportunity for a tour. 

  There is room for 12 families at this project and it is open to all ages. 

  A friendly reminder to sign up for one project per month in order to give as many SBK families as possible the chance to volunteer together!

  On 5/12 we will be helping foster kids soar at Robyn's Nest!  We will have TWO SHIFTS to lend a hand sorting clothes at Robyn's Nest, a "community clothes closet."  This is a program of Children's Hospital (CHW) that supplies new and gently used clothing, hygiene products, infant items, toys, books and other household goods free to the families within the foster care system as well as those identified to have unmet needs through CHW. 

  We will learn about how they help kids in need, then lend a hand by sorting items so families can easily get the supplies they need. PLUS, if you have any items listed above you'd like to donate this is a great chance to do some spring cleaning!   

  Open to all ages, but please note that there are not bathrooms readily available. Capacity of 7 families per session.

  On 5/17 we will be prepping materials and even crocheting these mats made out of plastic bags.  Mercy Mats of West Allis will help us learn how to do this project and then they will distribute the bags to a homeless shelter they work with in Milwaukee. There is literally a job for everyone, including sorting bags, flattening bags, making plarn (you got it, plastic yard made from the plastic bags) and then crocheting the plarn into the mats. 

  Making one mat is quite labor intensive, but what a difference a mat makes to the person who will receive it!  You can check on Mercy Mat's Facebook page for more info on their weekly Wednesday projects (all are welcome, just drop in) as well as pictures of past recipients. 

  Location TBD.  Open to all ages.
