Humanitarianism

The good being done year-round in our city kicks into high gear this time of year.

A BAR CRAWL TO HELP FEED THE HUNGRY. THE HEAD OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER as Santa, and his wife as Mrs. Claus. A Secret Santa distributing nearly 1,000 gifts. These stories and more are being played out in the Milwaukee area this holiday season. Nonprofit organizations here work year-round to improve the quality of life for our community’s most vulnerable residents. This time of the year, these organizations get especially inventive. Here’s a philanthropic feast of eight local nonprofits that are creating something special this season for their clients, members and friends. And you are invited to the table: Please share your own spirit of the holidays by donating or volunteering.
