‘Means a lot’: A Milwaukee homeless shelter gave its ‘family’ a Super Bowl party with the help of a local synagogue
“There was also entertainment, like juggling and piano playing, raffles for cash and gift cards, and dozens of bags filled with personal care items that people could take.
‘There’s many people experiencing homelessness,’ Milchtein said. ‘It transcends religion or culture. Some people have it difficult. Everybody should take the opportunity to step up to the plate and help out if it’s something they can do.’
The party was part of a national effort launched four years ago to provide resources and a safe space for the homeless in conjunction with what is often referred to as the country’s largest unofficial holiday.”
