Lakefront Brewery Partners with Milwaukee Diaper Mission to Fight Period Poverty

MILWAUKEE (August 15th, 2023) – On Sunday, August 27th from 11AM to 4PM, Lakefront will be hosting a period drive, offering $.25 of gift card credit for each individual disposable tampon, pad, or liner. Lakefront is joining Milwaukee Diaper Mission in their goal to end period poverty in Milwaukee. “Period products are a necessity, not a luxury, menstruators shouldn’t struggle to obtain these items,” says Meagan Johnson, Founder of Milwaukee Diaper Mission, “we want to help put an end to that struggle here in the greater Milwaukee area.”

New in 2023, Lakefront launched their Ripple Effect give back program with a variety of avenues by which they try to support the local community and people within it. “We had a very successful diaper drive with Milwaukee Diaper Mission earlier this year, but we know there are other needs out there as well”, says Ripple Effect Program Lead Liz Mauritz, “these drives are an easy way for us to provide a little help furthering the important objectives that MDM is all about.”

Milwaukee Diaper Mission is a basic needs bank. They partner with local social service agencies to provide a reliable source of essentials, including period supplies. Two in five menstruators have struggled to purchase period products in the past year due to lack of income. Milwaukee Diaper Mission utilizes a distribution model that is efficient and cost-effective, ensuring that period supplies get into the hands of the people that need them most.

Stop through Lakefront on Sunday, August 27th from 11AM to 4PM with as many unopened period supplies you are able to donate. For your donation, Lakefront will hand over a Lakefront gift card loaded with cash to spend in their Beer Hall that day or any day in the future. They will give $.25 (25 cents) per individual disposable item with no limit to the amount you can donate.
