This year (maybe more than past years) is a tough one for the hungry in Milwaukee, and every major city around the nation. During these difficult times, it’s great to know that there are many admirable organizations that help provide food for the underprivileged. At GS we are lucky to have one of those great organization as a client.
Lad Lake fosters the growth of children and young adults throughout Wisconsin and the Midwest – providing the opportunity for them to take their futures into their own hands by teaching responsibility and accountability. Their food pantry helps youth and families stretch their dollars until they learn the fundamentals of living on their own.
Every year, GS helps stock their food pantry with a food drive and we’re gearing up to do it again this year. It’s a simple, and impactful way to give back to those less fortunate with the knowledge that every item donated is going to go directly to someone in need. Last year when we pulled up with our load of food, we were met with hugs from their staff and a few tears of appreciation. Great people. Great cause.
If you live in the Milwaukee area, check out the Lad Lake organization and consider to giving to their food pantry at 255 W. Capitol Drive. If you live elsewhere, I challenge you to look in the far reaches of your own pantry to find some items you could do without. Or spend an extra $20 next time you go through the grocery store on some non-perishable items. Make your donation to a local food pantry or consider starting a food drive at your business.
Go do good.
