...about Your Neighbors
If you needed a food pantry or emergency shelter, how would you locate it? Google? Yellow Pages? Your place of worship? While most of us will never experience hunger or the threat of homelessness, thousands* of our neighbors do every year, and have turned to 2-1-1 @ IMPACT for help in accessing these kinds of resources and many others.
Our call data demonstrates that the issues causing people to struggle the most – whether they’re from the heart of Milwaukee, the near Northshore or the southern suburbs – are surprisingly similar. The Top Five Needs of callers from randomly-selected communities – Franklin, Greendale, Shorewood, Wauwatosa and Milwaukee – include the most basic of human needs: Food and Shelter.

Milwaukee’s communities are diverse in some ways. But, wherever you live, you likely have neighbors who need help. If you would like to help them, make a contribution to your community’s food pantries, shelters, or other services. Together, we can change our neighbors’ lives – and our communities – for good.
