“Now that daylight is getting shorter and cold weather is on our doorstep, we want to make sure that everyone is ready for the winter months,” said Andi Elliott, CEO of Community Advocates. “That means having a strong foundation for your household with a plan to meet your bills, stay warm and cozy indoors, and be healthy and safe throughout the year. We’re providing some helpful resources, along with activities, games, and treats at this two-day resource fair. Everyone is invited!”
“Bringing our Mobile Financial Center to Milwaukee reflects our commitment to meeting people where they are and making financial guidance and services more accessible,” said Drew Slocum, president, Bank of America Wisconsin. “Through our partnership with Community Advocates, we can connect more residents with the right tools, resources, and support to achieve their financial goals.”
Resource fair sponsors include Community Advocates, Fast Fund, Milwaukee Women’s Center, Milwaukee Rental Housing Resource Center, and RISE Drug Free MKE.
