Don't have enough time?

Cherie was on her way to her part-time barista job after having worked graveyard shift as a supervisor at a well-known freight company. She cleans houses in her spare time. She’s finishing up her accounting degree in a year. She’s 24 and a single mother.


And she finds time to hand-write thank you notes to her driver(s)? Yes, the afternoon guy got a card and a chocolate bar, too.

Isn't that the sweetest?

Maybe she's got time to give classes to people without enough time.

Feed the hungry - volunteer on The Farm

I recently met Amy, the volunteer coordinator, of The Farm for the Hunger Task Force. She puts together the teams that help on the farm. There are youth camps, corporate work groups, and individuals that help bring the harvest to the hungry of Milwaukee County.

Two hundred acres for fruits, veggies, and the fish hatchery used to stock Milwaukee County ponds. Two hoop houses might  coming in the next year so that they might experiment with year-round farming. 

If you’d like to get some sweaty exercise on behalf of the hungry, contact The Farm.
