Science Supplies & Shoe Drive for Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful

Our first holiday drive collected 184 pairs of shoes that will be donated to a community recycling program for those in need. In addition, we collected 5 boxes of art supplies and classroom materials that will be donated to KGMB to support their programming for environmental science education classes that are offered to adults and children in the community.
Thanks to all your help, those in need will have a good pair of shoes for the holidays, and our community can continue to benefit from science-oriented education classes and have a positive impact on our earth and own local neighborhoods.
