We’re celebrating a wonderful professional development opportunity for our Executive Director! 🎉

Through the amazing leadership of Momentum and the generous investment of Zilber Family Foundation , our Executive Director completed a valuable training focused on fundraising and building meaningful relationships with funders.

Stepping into a new leadership role comes with so much to learn, and opportunities like this make a tremendous difference—not only in personal growth, but in strengthening the organization as a whole.

We’re incredibly grateful for the investment in leadership development and for the opportunity to continue growing, learning, and building a stronger future together! 💙

🏠 Landlords: Looking for consistent, reliable tenants?

We’re looking to connect with landlords who are interested in partnering with a program that provides:

✅ Tenants who are trained in landlord-tenant expectations
✅ Supportive services to help tenants navigate challenges and difficult situations
✅ Guaranteed rent payments
✅ A partnership focused on creating stable, successful tenancies

If you’re a landlord interested in learning more about this opportunity and how we can support you, please connect with LaToshia Thompson at [email protected].

🌿 Wellness Week at Walker’s Point Youth & Family Center! 🌿

We’re trying something new this year—and we’re so excited about it! Today through Monday, we’re celebrating our first-ever Wellness Week. 💚

What does that mean? Our full-time staff are stepping away from the office to take some much-needed time to rest, recharge, and focus on their own well-being. Our essential part-time staff are continuing to care for and support our youth in the shelter, and they’ll be receiving a pay bump for their important work during this time.

Even our shelter is getting some TLC, with a deep cleaning to help create a refreshed and welcoming space for everyone. ✨

We’re looking forward to this reset and hope it becomes an important tradition for our team. Because the truth is, helpers can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking care of ourselves allows us to show up as our best selves for the young people we serve.

Here’s to rest, renewal, and coming back stronger—for ourselves, our team, and our youth. 💚🌱

Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that make you feel like a kid again. 🍿🕷️❤️

A huge thank you to our incredible board member, Emily, for generously sponsoring a movie outing for our staff and youth to see the new Spider-Man movie! Experiences like this create lasting memories and make summer just a little more special for the kids we serve.

Emily Schram, thank you not only for your leadership and dedication to our organization, but also for always finding ways to make sure our youth have opportunities to laugh, have fun, and simply enjoy being kids. Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express.

We’re so grateful for supporters like you who help make these moments possible. 💙

🕷️ The excitement for the new Spider-Man movie is everywhere—including here at our shelter!

Our kids would love the chance to see it on the big screen before summer break comes to an end. While movie outings aren’t something our budget can accommodate regularly, we’re hoping our amazing community can help make this special experience possible.

We’re looking for sponsors to help us purchase 10 movie tickets for our youth and staff. You can support this outing by:
🎟️ Purchasing movie tickets, or
❤️ Making a donation through our website and writing “Movies” in the notes.
Www.walkerspoint.org
A simple trip to the movies can create lasting memories and give our kids one more fun adventure before they head back to school.

If you’d like to help make this happen, we’d be so grateful for your support. Thank you for helping us create joyful moments for the youth we serve! 💙

We are incredibly grateful to Medical College of Wisconsin for partnering with us to support the health needs of our community.

They recently kicked off what will become an ongoing series of health education classes at our shelter, helping bring valuable health resources directly to those we serve. As this program grows, we look forward to expanding these services to community clients at our administrative building.

When someone is facing a crisis, healthcare often takes a back seat to more immediate needs. That’s why we’re so excited to bring these services directly to the people who need them most. Together, we’re making healthcare more accessible and strengthening our community, one step at a time.

Thank you, Medical College of Wisconsin, for investing in the health and well-being of our neighbors! 💙

Some pictures are so good you can almost smell them… and this is definitely one of them! 🤍

Collette prepared an amazing dinner for the youth staying at our shelter tonight, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you to everyone in our community who helps make sure our kids have delicious, nutritious meals.

Our meal program is about so much more than food. It gives our youth the opportunity to experience a variety of meals while connecting with caring, positive people in our community.

Interested in getting involved? We’d love to have you! Whether you’d like to prepare dinner during the week or breakfast on the weekend, send us a message and we’ll get you on the schedule. Together, we can make a difference—one meal at a time. ❤️

We are incredibly grateful to our partners at United Way GMWC for their continued investment in our mission to support vulnerable youth and families in our community. 💙

As the funding landscape continues to shift, partnerships like this are more important than ever. United Way’s support goes far beyond financial contributions—they provide essential supplies, connect us with community events, and help bring dedicated volunteers to our programs.

Their commitment allows us to keep our vital programs running and ensures we can continue serving youth and families with the care and resources they deserve.

Thank you, United Way, for believing in our mission and standing alongside us every step of the way. Together, we’re making a meaningful difference.

Life skills come in many forms! 💙

Our shelter groups cover topics like stress management, money management, and other essential life skills that help prepare youth for the future. Today, the lesson was baking—and our youth, alongside our amazing staff, baked this delicious banana bread from scratch! 🍌🍞

Moments like these build confidence, encourage teamwork, and create opportunities to learn skills that can last a lifetime.
