Your Help Makes All the Difference

 
Charitable gifts to support programs at Silver Spring Neighborhood Center come from a variety of sources: individuals, corporations, and foundations; United Way of Greater Milwaukee; government contracts; and in-kind donations of volunteer time and materials, such as those donated for our traditional Back-to-School event each August. We also receive thousands of Christmas gifts for our December Wrap Party, food and clothing for our emergency clothing bank; and gifts of books and computers.
