MCFI, Hunger Task Force partner to provide meals for Milwaukee families
MCFI along with its community partners, including Hunger Task Force, Inc., have once again partnered to host the annual Summer Meals Program.
MCFI has been associated with the program for more than 15 years. It aims to supply children and families free lunch and dinner at more than 100 locations throughout Milwaukee County.
MCFI participants help out at Urban Ecology Center
MCFI’s LIFE Services adult day program has a long partnership with the Urban Ecology Center, volunteering there on a regular basis.
So, when the Center needed some help, it didn’t have to look far for willing participants.
Recently, more than 35 participants from our adult services programs completed an extensive prairie seeds project that stands to save the Center more than $3,600. Had the participants not stepped up, the Center would have to purchase new seeds.
In all, about 24.5 pounds of seeds were cleaned for the Center’s use. This is an important process to help prairie plants grow, as well as benefit the environment.
Once completed, several participants got to spread prairie seeds in the Riverside Park Arboretum. The seeds will grow, which will provide a healthy and diverse ecosystem to support a variety of wildlife.
