Here is an
opportunity for us as as Alumni to leave our mark on Nicolet and the community we
have all called home!
We all want to make a difference in the world...and I’m sure you have.
Contacting class of 58 and 59, but we welcome all Nicolet Alumni to join us!
A lot has happened in the world and in our lives since our graduation from Nicolet!
Our family: 3
generations at Nicolet!
My sons
graduated 1994, 1996 and my daughter Ami Dassow Oldenburg, class of 2000. And now my grandson, class of 2021.
Ami’s message: “You may not be aware that 61% of kids
in Milwaukee County rely on the free and reduced lunch programs while at
school, but often go home to an empty fridge. That’s greater than 1 in 2
children, and this is just not acceptable. My family along with the Nicolet
World Language Department is sponsoring an event at Nicolet High School on
October 12th, 2019 through Generosity Feeds. Our goal is to package
15,000 wholesome meals for our local kids, and we need your help… “
Here is an opportunity to join Ami’s team, with our combined
interests, resources, and passion, to help make this a reality for Nicolet High
School. One of the last things we can do as a class and as a team!
Generosity Feeds in Milwaukee-Glendale: Oct 12th.
Ami has taken
this on as a personal project to help start the conversation around food
insecurity in Milwaukee, in hopes of making a greater impact in our
community. She was so dedicated and
passionate about this after first helping Generosity Feeds create 10,000 meals
in Milwaukee 2 yrs. ago as a volunteer, they offered her a part time job! She has had the opportunity to work in cities
throughout the country and felt it was time to see this difference being made
right in her own backyard.
A little background on this project:
Generosity
Feeds is a national organization who focuses on childhood hunger on a local
level. All meals created stay right
within the local communities in which they are created, distributed through
backpack programs and organizations within the local community to assure they
are provided to those in greatest need.
Ami
works part time from her home, as a consultant to corporations around the
country helping change the math on childhood hunger from a local level. Currently 1 in 5 children nationally do not
know where their next meal is coming from.
To
alleviate the childhood hunger issue in Milwaukee, 300+ volunteers will come
together on October 12th and package 15,000 meals in less than 2 hours. We will distribute the meals through
partnerships with organizations who work with children throughout the city in
greatest need.
To
accomplish this goal, we must raise a total of $15,000 for the event. MOD Pizza has generously donated $8,000 to
get us started. Let’s gather together
and match their donation to our beautiful corner of the world and help to see
change in our city.
Every little bit helps.
