STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES
The Milwaukee Kitchen Cabinet (MKC) is a group of restaurateurs who are committed to growing and showcasing the work done by the restaurant industry to strengthen the communities where they live and work.  

As a grassroots movement organized by the Wisconsin Restaurant Association, with support from the National Restaurant Association, the MKC highlights the positive impacts made by the Milwaukee restaurants.

The MKC also works closely with non-profit organizations and elected officials to help make a difference in the greater Milwaukee area.

Do Good With Food Event Raised Over $41,000 for Children’s Wisconsin

More Info

The Wisconsin Restaurant Association's Milwaukee Kitchen Cabinet was proud to partner with Children’s Wisconsin for the third annual Do Good with Food event on Thursday, August 25.

A record 34 restaurants and breweries throughout greater Milwaukee joined forces to donate a percentage of sales to Children’s Wisconsin. Proceeds will benefit Children’s neonatal intensive care unit, emergency department and—new in 2022—Children’s Nourishing Partners Program, which connects families to Children’s resource and partnerships to help access nutritious food.

We are extremely thrilled to announce that we not only met, but surpassed our goal for this year's event. With the amazing support of our restaurant partners, we raised over $41,000. Proceeds will support the Children's NICU, emergency department and the Nourishing Partners program that battles food insecurity.

A big "Thank You" to everyone involved and of course our customers who came out that night in support of this great cause!
