Our thanks to More than Milk for reaching out and forging a new friendship with us. MTM’s mission is in complete harmony with our mission and together we created incredible intergenerational events that were beneficial for every age that participated – from infant to Gen X to Boomer to our most senior members of society. It was a pleasure to work with MTM and they were beyond generous with their time, talent and compassion. Kindness is understood by all ages. – Heather Dudzinski, Manager, Young Professionals Advisory Board, Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly, Chicago Chapter

What a great organization focused on providing meaningful connections for moms with other moms and with organizations and causes across the city that certainly benefit from the contribution of time and energy. AND a financial contribution on top of that is icing on the cake. Congratulations and thank you. – Lisa McDonald, Director of Volunteer Programming & Donor Events

 

More than Milk has been a wonderful partner to Open Books and we are so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with them. MTM developed an ongoing philanthropic-themed storytime at the Open Books store, created a fundraising read-a-thon to help support our literacy programs, and organized fun, engaging events for parents and young children to learn about giving back and the importance of reading (we are a literacy organization, after all!).

We love the idea of family volunteerism and hope that More than Milk can continue to inspire new generations of civic-minded and conscientious community members! Thank you More than Milk! - Erica Hawkinson, Open Books Marketing Manager

We can’t thank you enough for all the help your volunteer moms gave to assist in completing our end of the year mailing. Because of your time and effort, we have been able to raise tens of thousands of dollars in support! Also, your financial contribution and hundreds of donated toys and items for women in our program allowed us to offer a happier holiday to 121 families with 319 children through our Holiday Gift Project. - Juliet Yera, Sarah’s Inn Development Director

Thank you to More Than Milk for their amazing partnership these last two months! We’ve had wonderful volunteer support, families interested in fitness training for the New Balance Girls on the Run – Chicago 5k, and generous donations that will help us provide program scholarships! Check out this great organization. -Emily Sladek, GOTR Chicago Volunteer & Community Outreach Coordinator

We feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with the incredible women (and their adorable children) of More Than Milk. Their fund- and awareness-raising initiatives were unmatched. We are also grateful for the opportunity to expose so many women in our target demographic to our mission.- Lindsay Avner, Bright Pink Founder & Executive Director
