Together We Serve: EWI Milwaukee’s Community Commitment

  • NextDoor Foundation

    The Next Door Foundation empowers Milwaukee children and families through early childhood education and literacy programs that help every child build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

  • Toys for Tots

    As the program’s longest-standing participant, EWI of Milwaukee has contributed faithfully through donations dating back to the 1960s.

  • YWCA of Southeastern Wisconsin

    The YWCA of Southeastern Wisconsin advances racial and gender equity through education, job training, and community programs that empower women and promote social justice across the region.

EWI of Milwaukee is deeply committed to caring for our community through meaningful volunteerism and hands-on service. Throughout the year, our members come together to support local needs—writing cards to brighten the days of senior citizens, collecting food for local pantries, and providing school supplies to help students start the year strong. We believe that giving our time and energy strengthens both our connections and our city, and we’re proud to make a lasting impact right here in Milwaukee.

Engage.
