Milwaukee families gearing up for Thanksgiving have the opportunity to lighten their load this year, thanks to the annual turkey and diaper distribution event organized by Missionary Currie and supported by Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs. The giveaway, set for Friday, November 21, at 4:00 p.m., promises to aid many, providing 200 free turkeys along with diapers for those in need, as per the City of Milwaukee news release.
Held at 274 E. Keefe Ave., the drive-up event is a practical response to the real hardships some residents face during the festive season, where the promise of a hearty meal and necessities like diapers for little ones becomes not just a nicety but a necessity; hence, residents in need should mark their calendars for this community-powered occasion. According to the City of Milwaukee news release, Alderwoman Coggs expressed her sentiments, "This distribution event offers valuable support to families as they prepare for the holiday season."
The event, also sponsored by local businesses including JJ Fish & Chicken, Kuumba Juice & Coffee, and Riverworks Development Corp., exemplifies community partnership. Attendees are asked to remain in their vehicles to ensure a seamless process as volunteers distribute items directly to them.
For those seeking more information, residents may contact Alderwoman Coggs through her official email. Officials say the support from local partners highlights a strong spirit of collaboration aimed at helping Milwaukee residents, reflecting a community that steps up for one another when it matters most. "Missionary Currie and the event partners continue to show their dedication to serving the community, and I encourage residents who may need assistance to take part in this great annual event," Alderwoman Coggs told the community in the same news release, further underscoring the event's significance.
