From the beginning of February through the 15th, Brew City Marketing held a book drive to collect new or slightly used children’s books. Then on the 16th, we joined Next Door at their book cleaning event sponsored by Good City Brewing. Cleaning Books with Love Upon arrival, we saw that each table was armed with all of the supplies that we needed such as magic erasers, all-purpose cleaner, and rubber cement so we immediately went to work. During this event, we helped clean, repair and sort [...]

We’re very excited for any opportunity to engage with our local community. For that reason, Brew City Marketing will be holding a book drive to support Next Door and Books for Kids. Research shows that the number of books available to a child may surpass all other variables in predicting their first-grade reading achievement and progress in school. That’s why we support Next Door’s vision of positioning neighborhood children and families for long-term success. How You Can Help To aid this mission, we will be [...]

The SaintA Toy Drive was another great opportunity to help the community this holiday season, and we were so excited to get involved. SaintA is an amazing non-profit organization that has been a part of Milwaukee's history for over 150 years! What started as an orphanage way back in 1850 is now one of the largest and most successful human services agencies in Wisconsin. They provide foster care, education, and mental health services for thousands of children, families, and adults every day.   SaintA's Mission Statement "To [...]

This year's coat drive with One Warm Coat was a huge success! Devon, Carly, and I had the opportunity to make the trip out to The Milwaukee Rescue Mission to drop off our donation of coats, hats, mittens, and scarves. The first thing we noticed right when we pulled up was how friendly the staff was. They immediately came outside to greet us. They held the door as we carried all the boxes of clothes in and even offered to help us carry things inside (we [...]

According to NPR, “children whose parents read to them get a head start on language skills and literacy, as well as lovely cuddle time with Mom or Dad. But many children miss out on that experience, with one-third of children starting kindergarten without the language skills they need to learn to read.” As part of our ongoing commitment to investing in our local community, a few team members from Brew City Marketing headed to Next Door Milwaukee, an Educare school founded in 2005, to participate [...]

    For the second year in a row, Brew City Marketing will be collecting gently worn or new coats and winter gear for the Milwaukee Rescue Mission's coat drive. Milwaukee residents are encouraged to donate winter items to help the local community! Who? Brew City Marketing and One Warm Coat are working together to collect gently used coats for the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, a shelter for homeless and ailing families. Since 1893, MRM has worked with the hungry and hurting of Milwaukee, helping them restore [...]

Chuckle & Chip In with United Way LINC We recently had the opportunity to help Milwaukee children by attending the event Chuckle & Chip In at Comedy Sportz. It was organized by United Way LINC and sponsored by Harley Davidson. The event gave us a chance to meet other young professionals who share our passion for service and outreach. Together we packed dental hygiene kits full of toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, and friendly hand-written messages like, “Floss like a boss!” and “Your smile makes the world [...]

Within Milwaukee, we have more than 170,000 people living in poverty with 39% of Milwaukee’s children living below the poverty line. Milwaukee Rescue Mission seeks to battle the difficult challenges that poverty, and the Wisconsin weather itself, can bring. But Brew City Marketing doesn’t intend to let them fight this on their own this year! We’ve teamed up with One Warm Coat to collect new and lightly worn coats, mittens, scarves and hats for those in need. […]
