On October 8th, our Wisconsin associates came together for their annual Weidner Cares Day, partnering with Neighborhood House of Milwaukee to improve the spaces where children, families, and community members learn, connect, and grow.
Weidner Cares is Weidner’s annual company-wide philanthropy program, bringing associates together for a day of service to support local nonprofits and strengthen the communities where they live and work. Neighborhood House of Milwaukee supports this mission through educational, enrichment, and family programs, including early childhood education, after-school and summer activities, teen development, outdoor education, and resources for refugees and immigrants.
To help support these programs, our Wisconsin associates tackled a variety of projects throughout the facility and its outdoor spaces. Outside, teams worked on landscaping, cleared overgrown areas, repaired fences, refreshed entrance signage, improved playground areas, pressure-washed surfaces, and repaired a storage shed.
Inside, associates used their maintenance and renovation skills to paint classrooms, repair drywall, replace ceiling tiles, and update the staff break room. They also refreshed the entryway, conference room, skate room, and other program spaces to create a more welcoming and functional environment.
These improvements will benefit the children, families, staff, and community members who use Neighborhood House’s facilities and participate in its programs. The day also allowed our associates to apply their skills in a new setting and work together to support an organization making a difference in their local community.
Thank you to Neighborhood House of Milwaukee for welcoming our team and allowing us to contribute to your important work. We’re also grateful to every Wisconsin associate who shared their time, skills, and energy to make this day of service a success.
