NEW THIS YEAR!
This year we are organizing a fundraiser to raise money for Interfaith Older Adult Programs. This past year, the CVSL worked with Interfaith to host a holiday party for over 200 low-income older adults in the Milwaukee area. Money raised from this year's Hunger Clean Up will go to funding for next year's Holiday Party. Anyone who pledges or raises $20 will receive a "Serve and Lead" T-Shirt!
