In recognition of the National Day of Service, the second event was a MLK Volunteer Event – presented by UWM’s Good on the Go program. Good on the Go is a meaningful volunteer project that allows individuals and corporate teams to work together to assemble kits that support our nonprofit partners and the people they serve. Volunteers assembled snack pack kits for four local nonprofits.
