  Serving Dinner at St. Vincent de Paul
  On Friday 4/26 we'll be back to serve dinner to families in need at SVDP! 

  The St. Vincent de Paul Society of Milwaukee is an organization dedicated to the elimination of hunger and poverty in our community.  They provide free meals 5 nights per week at this location, as well as at a location on Milwaukee's south side.  Last year, they served over 102,000 meals, over 15,000 of those meals were served to children.

  There are TWO opportunities to serve:

  1) SBK families will help serve dinner to 100+ adults and children. These SBK families are asked to bring 100% juice (& gently used children's books if you have them!) to share with the guests as well as serve them dinner.  Max capacity 10 families, all ages welcome. 

  NOTE: There is no specific age requirement, but because we will be serving to the public, SVDP reminds us that it is very important to be attentive to your kids during the project. 

  2) Families can donate items prior. For those who want to serve but cannot be at the project, you can donate gently used children/youth books or 100% fruit juice ahead of time.  All items will need to be dropped off at our planner's home in Wauwatosa prior (address details to come several days before the project).  No maximum capacity. 

  Thank you for lending a hand!

  YOU ARE REGISTERING FOR SESSION #1 (10am-12pm)

  (due to system limitations Session #2 will be sent via a separate email)

  -------------------------------------------------

  Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals and resources to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry.

  On Saturday 4/27, we will be helping the local Waukesha chapter support local children by unpacking boxes and repacking food in bags, assembly line style. 
  

  At bag fill events groups will usually fill 1,200 bags with 9 food items/bag.  That's a total of over 10,000 items!  We'll be picking up the items at Sam's Club earlier that morning -- for kids who like a visual, this is 2-3 pallets worth of food that we are able to help Blessings in a Backpack provide to kids and families in need throughout the school year. 

  When: 2 shifts on 4/27 from 10am-12pm and 12pm-2pm

  Where: We are still awaiting final confirmation on location from Blessings in a Backpack, but it will likely be in Brookfield. 

  Capacity: 10 families per session

  Age: This project is open to all ages, but ideal for slightly older kids. Per our host, there must be a 1:1 parent ratio for all kids under 8 years old. They did say that a family member or babysitter could help fill that 1:1 match. Note: this requirement from our host is only for children under 8 years old.
