And on the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me … nothing. Instead, she gave back to the community.
So here’s a thought for a last-minute gift this holiday: Give to one of South Milwaukee’s terrific charities or organizations.
There are too many to list here, obviously, but I’ll give a few …
- Human Concerns (Kris tells me they could really use canned chicken, tuna and other meats.)
- Interfaith
- South Milwaukee Lions
- South Milwaukee Legacy
- Friends of the Mill Pond and Oak Creek Watercourse or Friends of Grant Park
- South Milwaukee Historical Society
Or, give to help the family affected by the recent Cudahy fire. Or the Gawlitta family. Or donate some toys that the Brooks family will take to area homeless and domestic violence shelters on Christmas Eve.
In other words, there are plenty of ways to give this holiday season. Please consider doing so.
