Students, faculty and staff can make sandwiches for homeless

July 19, 2023

Next month, the MATC Oak Creek Campus and the Rotary Club of Mitchell Field (RCMF) will join forces to make sandwiches for clients of the Guest House. The Guest House provides shelter, housing, education, and other services to Milwaukee’s homeless community who want to transform their lives with dignity and purpose.

The Guest House is the largest publicly funded homeless shelter in Milwaukee and has been working to end the cycle of poverty in their clients’ lives for almost 40 years. The organization is located in the King Park neighborhood, which is a couple of blocks away from MATC’s Downtown Campus.

This MATC partnership with RCMF is focused on positively impacting the local community. RCMF is a service organization that concentrates on creating solutions for challenging problems around the world. The Rotary Club is donating all of the items necessary for making the sandwiches.

Christopher D’Allen, Editor-in-Chief

My name is Christopher D'Allen and I am the Editor-in-Chief for the MATC Times, a student run paper dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in scholastic journalism. The MATC Times stands as the voice of our students and a bastion of free speech for the communiy we represent. I joined the staff in my first semester at MATC and obtained my current position at the start of Summer '23. Here I am a photography student and hold a BA in Political Science and Spanish & Latin American Studies with a minor in Democracy and Justice Studies. I have worked an Administrative Assistant, World Language Instructor, a Head Lifeguard and Resident Assistant, but have found that my passion lies in the arts. As a photographer, I challenge myself daily to find a new perspective, capture a fleeting scene and turn moments into memories. As we work to relaunch the MATC Times website and grow our staff, I want to make joining our team as positive a learning experience and beneficial a work experience as possible. I strongly believe in the power of collaboration and inclusivity. As an Editor, I actively encourage diverse perspectives. Each student's unique viewpoint enriches our storytelling and fosters a sense of unity within our community. I aim to bridge the gap between words and images, revealing the untold stories that shape our community.
