Sandwich Making for Guest House
Overview:
Please join us from 11:45 am - 12:45 pm on Saturday, May 24th to make sandwiches that will be handed out to Guest House of Milwaukee's clients the following day.
Guest House provides shelter, housing, education and services to Milwaukee’s homeless who seek to transform their lives with dignity and purpose.
What to expect:
We'll start with a brief explanation of Guest House and how we're supporting their work, then we’ll get to work making sandwiches. Guest house serves 200-400 sandwiches daily. We will be dividing up the supplies to make 200 sandwiches & assembling the sandwiches, getting them ready to distribute the next day.
Capacity & Age Recommendations:
All ages are welcome and we have for about 8 families at this project.
Additional information:
This project will be held in the Community Room at the Brookfield Public Library, the room is immediately to your right as you enter the library from the parking lot.
What to bring:
In order to make this project a success, we are asking all families who register to commit to bringing items to pack, no matter how big or small. Bringing supplies to donate helps kids personally connect to the project, knowing the item(s) they brought are helping other families. NOTE: If you would like to participate but are unable to bring items, please let us know via email (confidential) and we will buy supplies on your behalf. We just want to make sure we have enough supplies to pack.
Please use this Sign Up Genius link to note what supplies and quantity you’ll be bringing in an effort to provide some variety.
What to wear:
Please wear comfortable clothes and tie long hair back. Kids can wear their Sunbeam Kids shirts if they want!
Project Leader: Holly Twito
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.
This project is open to members* only, but we will be happy to open up any remaining spots to guests after the first week of registration. Please only sign up if you know you can attend. We understand illness and emergencies do come up so if you register and can no longer attend, please let us know ASAP so we can fill your spot.
Thank you for lending a little hand!

*While we rely on member donations to keep the good work going, we never want the $40/family/year to be a hurdle to volunteering with us. If you are in need of assistance, we do have a limited number of scholarships available that are 100% confidential, just email and ask!
