David Sinclair, Program Coordinator with our Cream City Credible Messenger program attended an event honoring Willie Mae Hill from the Maskani Apartments. This complex is part of the Heartland Alliance group, which provides housing for low-income mothers and children. David has partnered with the Maskani Apartments to supply USDA stock boxes from the WestCare Wisconsin E.A.T.S Food Pantry as well as mentoring and advocacy for adjudicated youth that may reside in the facility. This partnership has been in the making since January of this year and will hopefully continue well into the future.
What makes this partnership such a blessing is what Ms. Willie Mae Hill does and stands for. The Heartland Alliance summed up her legacy perfectly by saying, “Willie Mae has dedicated her life to serving women, mothers, and families in Milwaukee. She’s worked in workforce development, she has helped families access vital healthcare services, and helped individuals and families find the safety and security of a home.”
“When you invest in women, you’re investing in their families. When you invest in families, you invest in the community.”
-Ms. Willie Mae Hill
This is exactly what WestCare Wisconsin believes in – a holistic approach to serving the entire family. Great job on helping establish such a strong community partnership, David.
Thank you for your contributions, Ms. Hill!
