What a delightful evening we had at our August meeting. Thank you to all who were in attendance. One of the highlights of every meeting is learning how our donations have impacted our chosen charities. We were honored to have Sandra Gines, Executive Director of ACAP (2nd from right in the photo below), deliver her Impact Statement as we presented our Big Check for $10,286.00. Congratulations to ACAP for all the many programs they offer as they serve individuals who have physical and developmental disabilities achieve their highest potential. Thank you to O’Donoghue’s Irish Pub for the wonderful meeting space and generous gift cards for our raffle. Our Flower Raffle was sponsored by Twins Flowers of New Berlin. It was fun, as usual, to see 3 of our members come forward as we called out their winning numbers.

How To Donate

Charities Supported

Exploit No More has been honored to serve survivors of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation in our community for over a decade. We learned that, unfortunately, the greater Milwaukee area has one of the highest rates of trafficking activity in the country. The traffickers look for people who are vulnerable for a variety of reasons. Victims can be male or female, rural or urban, any race, any social class, any age. It is an invisible crime that is happening everywhere. Through their work, Exploit No More has come to understand that survivors desperately need community case management services to obtain and maintain stability on their journey to a better life. This dedicated organization offers free case management services to women who want short-term and long-term support, including counseling, personal care items, clothing, health services, housing, trainings, and many other essentials.
