Our meat counter is about to look a whole lot more local. 🥩
We just received a $20,000 grant from Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin to stock our shelves with in-demand, Wisconsin-sourced items. First up: our very first whole cow, from Cedar Road Meats in Iron Ridge. That's 1.5 freezers full of local beef headed to our neighbors. Good food, sourced close to home.
Big thanks to our volunteers Mike (pictured) and Bernard for making the pickup!

Five years in the making. 🌱

On June 2, at The Big Give, the women of Impact 100 Greater MIlwaukee awarded Kinship a $100,000 transformational grant.

This grant backs something we already know works: our Kinship Cafe & Catering program and the healing Workforce training behind it. With this investment, we can scale a program that doesn't just serve great food, it also builds skills and creates real economic opportunity for our neighbors.

A record-breaking year for Impact100, too: 445 members, 93 nonprofits applying, five finalists. We're humbled to be in such wonderful company.

Thank you, Impact100 Greater Milwaukee 💛

Today, on Memorial Day, we pause as a community to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage and dedication will never be forgotten.

As we reflect, we also hope everyone is enjoying meaningful time with loved ones—making memories, staying safe, and appreciating the moments that matter most.
