Help fuel the next generation of the skilled trades 💪
Nearly 62% of minors who live in Milwaukee receive FoodShare benefits. Many students don’t have access to regular meals, especially during the summer. Most of WRTP / BIG STEP’s federal grant funding does not allow us to use funds to purchase food.
You can make a difference by donating snacks and breakfast bars from our registry 💛
All contributions are greatly appreciated!
