SERVING FAMILY WELL-BEING 360 Amani Families Served with Summer Mobile Food Pantries Fresh, healthy food & resources for Amani families offered at three events
This summer, in partnership with Feeding Ameri- ca Eastern Wisconsin, DC distributed about 9,000 pounds of healthy food to more than 360 Amani families at three mobile food pantries. Food was distributed out of Feeding America’s re- frigerated truck and residents could choose their items, which were then boxed up by volunteers. Residents enjoyed different varieties of fresh produce, meat, cheese, milk and pantry staples at each mobile pantry. In addition, Milwaukee Diaper Mission supplied diapers and wipes, and DC and Amani United distributed hygiene kits and backpacks filled with school supplies donated by Northwestern Mutual.
DC also worked with partner organizations to bring services and resources to Amani families. Participating partners include Amani United, the Milwaukee Bucks, Milwaukee Health Services, City of Milwaukee Health Department, Milwau- kee County, Familia Dental, Legal Aid Society, SafeLink, Department of Neighborhood Services, Milwaukee Police Department, AARP Wisconsin, TMG, Aurora, Free at Last Ministries, and Milwau- kee Fire Department. None of these efforts would have been possi- ble without resident volunteers from the Amani neighborhood, as well as volunteers from Amani United, JP Morgan Chase, Northwestern Mutual and Feeding America.
