We Are Feeding Milwaukee’s Hungry & You Can Help
We’re rallying together to generate donations to help feed families in need across Milwaukee and we’d love for you to be part of it.
This campaign is completely turn-key and ready to plug into part of your KW 36-Touch Marketing Program. It’s professionally designed so you can easily share it through Command or your CRM and make a meaningful impact in our community.
We will be supporting three critical campaigns:
-
March/April Campaign – Focused around Easter and the increased demand that comes with the busy Spring season.
-
July Campaign – A Summer meal initiative supporting families when school is out and the need for food assistance significantly rises.
-
November Campaign – Centered on Thanksgiving and Christmas, when food insecurity becomes especially urgent for many families.
There is no cost and no recurring fees — this is simply KW helping the hungry.
To get started, complete the form on the right with your information and attach your logo using the email link provided within the form on the right. We will create your three customized flyers and email them to you.
If you have any questions about this campaign please call or text Judy Huebner at: 262-391-6372
