Fall Harvest Tasting at the Milwaukee Public Market

Friends of FMFM gathered at the Milwaukee Public Market for our Fall Harvest Tasting fundraising event on October 14, 2016. Proceeds funded the build of a rainwater harvesting system for the Rwandan Orphans Project - a home for street children in rural Rwanda. More than $5,000 was raised in this short evening!

Attendees enjoyed food demonstrations; a silent auction and 50/50 raffle; food, wine and beer pairings; live music and a presentation by FMFM's Maria Nicholas-Groves, Holly Baumgart and Sarah Fracek explaining how the proceeds will benefit the children in Rwanda. We were lucky enough to receive a video message from our friends at the Rwandan Orphans Project as well!

Successful Fundraiser at Lakefront Brewery

The Feeding Mouths, Filling Minds team held an event at Milwaukee's Lakefront Brewery to raise funds for phase III of the Gatune Farm Pond build for Huruma Children's Home. More than $5k was raised and all proceeds were given to the Huruma Trust Fund to assist with the purchase of a cover for the farm ponds that our team has worked hard to help fund over the past year.
