Riverwest Food Pantry

This year, Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers’ are thrilled to announce the first of the 2019 EACH recipients, the Riverwest Food Pantry. Founded in 1979, the Riverwest Food Pantry has provided food and services to tens of thousands of impoverished Milwaukee residents with the mission statement of, “(coming) together around food to relieve hunger, improve lives and grow community well-being”. Together, volunteers and shoppers alike,  can become a community of generosity – a community well-nourished, well-informed and strengthened to prevail.

The program takes volunteers several times a week at three different sites. For example, volunteers can prep food, work on the garden, or stock shelves. For more information, volunteers should visit their, “get involved” page.

Previously, Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers dedicated time and money, worked closely in new ways to give back to Milwaukee in the form of our E.A.C.H. program, with resounding success. We were able to set up an internship program with Pearls for Teen Girls, help FREESPACE acquire a new sound system, volunteered at numerous events for the St. Francis Children Center, and donated to the Charles E. Kubly Beyond the Blues Foundation. We hope 2019 brings continued success to our previous recipients. Furthermore, We are thrilled to work with our partners!

In addition, to a monetary donation, Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers plans on establishing regular volunteering among other possibilities. Furthermore, to learn more about the E.A.C.H. program, please visit our website. We urge our customers to consider volunteering and/or donating to the Riverwest Food Pantry.
