Hi Everyone!
In the midst of a crisis, we look for ways to get out and help. As agents of social change, it’s instinctive to get in touch with our community and organize. Today, that looks a little different. In order to care for our neighbors right now, the best thing we can do is stay inside, and that feels strange. But, we adapt! Midnight Run will continue to fight for positive social change, even if that means it’s from our couches instead of at a food pantry, or shelter, or community center.
As COVID-19 continues to affect our normal routines, we know that this is disproportionately negatively affecting vulnerable communities everywhere. Resource stockpiling and social distancing rules have changed the way programs are run, and these places still need our support. So, to start, Midnight Run has decided to organize a fundraiser for the MacCanon Brown Homeless Sanctuary, in collaboration with Marquette MARDI GRAS. MARDI GRAS is a disaster-relief based service organization dedicated to providing proactive, efficient, and value-driven aid to communities impacted by both natural and man-made crises.
We are asking for monetary donations through Venmo (), and have created an Amazon Wishlist (link below). Monetary donations will be sent to our benevolence fund and will be put toward buying needed items that are not available via Amazon. Thank you for your help as we stand with our Milwaukee community during this time!
