Event Series Event Series: Serving Pantry Guests

Work with your child at the Kinship Community Food Center (formerly called Riverwest Food Pantry) – an organization focused on coming together around food to relieve hunger, improve lives, and grow community well-being. While their name has changed, their mission is still the same! Your child will be immersed in an environment where they will experience their capabilities to help others and also be mentored in acts of dignity and grace by those very same people. The Kinship Community Food Center embodies their motto: In a community of generosity everyone gives and everyone receives.

You and your child will assist shoppers with registration and grocery selection, help shoppers carry bags, serve snacks to shoppers, help in the kid’s corner, and clean up. Hands-on orientation and assignments are given upon arrival.

We will also be collecting reusable bags to donate to the pantry. Their goal is to eliminate as many plastic shopping bags as possible. If you have extra reusable bags at home, please consider bringing some with you to donate!

December 16, 2023 from 7:45 am – 11:00 am
Saint Casimir’s Parish Hall 924 E Clarke St Milwaukee WI

The hall is located on the basement level of the school building behind Our Lady of Divine Providence Parish/St. Casimir. Volunteer entrance doors are on the west side of the building in the alley between the church and the school. On Saturday mornings we ask that volunteers find street parking (on Clarke or Weil) as the lot is reserved for shoppers.

Age: 6 years and older

Attire: Please dress casually in closed-toe shoes and keep all your valuables at home. Wear your Kids Impact Community shirt if you have one. Masks are optional.

Cost: FREE! Kinship Community Food Center does accept non-perishable food donations if your family would like to bring something to donate. Please consider a donation to KIC to help cover costs.
