Monthly Sandwich Blitz for JOMM
2022-05-04 09:00 - 10:00, 2022-04-06 09:00 - 10:00, 2022-03-02 09:00 - 10:00 | WI
Join Bay Bridge in making sandwiches for Just One More Ministry, in Glendale. JOMM rescues excess food from area restaurants, food suppliers and caterers and repackages it for shelters, food pantries and community members in need. Right now, JOMM needs bagged sandwiches as these lunches are easy to distribute with minimal contact.

Due to the overwhelmingly positive response from our MLK Sandwich Blitz, Bay Bridge would like to offer this as a monthly service opportunity. Help Bay Bridge and JOMM food bank by making sandwiches for those experiencing food insecurities. So many adults and children are in need of food now more than ever! JOMM distributes sandwiches as a low barrier way for people to access food – no questions asked. JOMM has seen dramatic increases in demand over the last year, so your contributions will serve an immediate need. A few guidelines:

White bread (preferred), ham or turkey, and cheese (cheddar, American, provolone). No condiments(mayo/mustard) to prevent sandwiches from becoming soggy.

Individually package sandwiches in a plastic bag or wrap in waxed paper sealed with tape. PLEASE DATE AND LABEL EACH SANDWICH with what type it is. Sandwiches can be make ahead of time and frozen. Two loaves of bread makes approximately 20 sandwiches.

Please thoroughly clean all surfaces, wash hands, pull back hair, and preferably wear a cap prior to food preparation. Please defer your participation if anyone in your household is not feeling well.

There will be a little white truck with a Bay Bridge sign on it parked at School House Park across from the Whitefish Bay Public Library for drop off the first WEDNESDAY OF EVERY MONTH from 9-10am. Please follow COVID safe practices by wearing a mask, physically distancing and not congregating, and staying home if you are not feeling well. Our goal is to donate 1,000 sandwiches every month to JOMM. We believe our community can achieve this with your help!
Please review the available slots here to sign up. Thank you!

Milwaukee Film Festival Screening of Messwood
2022-05-03 18:30 - 20:30 | WI
Messwood
Declining participation leads Milwaukee’s own Messmer (predominantly Black) and Shorewood (predominately white) high schools to combine their football programs. After a successful season in 2018, quite a few starters graduate and in 2019 the team is forced to rebuild. At the center of this familiar and thrilling sports season drama, these teenage athletes attempt to make sense of their adolescence and of the perceived and tangible racial fissures in southeast Wisconsin.

Derrick Adams: Our Time Together
2022-02-20 13:15 - 14:30 | Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 North Art Museum Drive, Milwaukee, WI, 53202, United States
Join us for a unique opportunity to celebrate Black History Month at the Milwaukee Art Museum with Bay Bridge friends!

About this event

We are excited to provide an in person event for Bay Bridge which will give us an opportunity to meet and build relationships.
Bay Bridge is sponsoring a docent-led tour of Derrick Adams: Our Time Together, as well as art by artists of the African Diaspora and Social Justice-inspired works. The commissioned exhibit features a multimedia wall mural and sculptural installation the artist created specifically for the Museum’s East End. Inspired by Victor Hugo Green’s The Negro Motorist Green Book (published 1936–66), a traveler’s guide for Black Americans during the Jim Crow era, Adams celebrates the rituals of everyday Black life and leisure. The monumental wall mural titled, Our Time Together, includes references to Milwaukee havens’: Gee’s Clippers, Coffee Makes You Black, and the Wisconsin Black Historical Society, as well as photographs from the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
In addition to the docent-led tour, your ticket includes the opportunity to explore the galleries and exhibits throughout the museum with an additional Community Dialogue pass for a return visit for two adults and four children (17 and under).
Tickets for this special event are $16, and Bay Bridge is sponsoring $6 of each ticket. Children, ages 17 and under are free, courtesy of Bay Bridge.
Your $10 event fee, which benefits the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Education Department, includes the docent-led tour of the exhibit, access to the museum’s galleries, passes for a return visit, and a life and soul-enriching experience. Join us!
