Milwaukee’s floods have devastated neighborhoods, leaving many families with nothing. Flood Hope 500 is our rapid-response mission to help 500 households in just 14 days, focusing on the 50 hardest-hit in each of the 10 most damaged areas. Local youth, guided by credible supervisors, are delivering critical support — and we need your help through donations, volunteers, and connecting with families in need.
