On the Table, in the community

WEST BEND — On theTable community conversa-tions in West Bend lastOctober led to the fundingof two Washington Countyprojects taking place thisspring. Through theirrespective funding pro-grams, the West Bend Com-munity Foundation and theGreater Milwaukee Founda-tion each supported a pro-ject, one focused on mentalhealth in young people, theother on transit.
WBCF funding is support-ing the work of InterfaithCaregivers of WashingtonCounty, which will developa print and online survey togather community feed-back, creating a betterunderstanding of trans-portation challenges inWashington County.
GMF funding is support-ing the Boys and Girls Clubof Washington County andits Healthy Minds project,which will create a “ZenDen” for youths who facemental health concerns dueto traumatic experiences.
Corie Denjo, mobilitymanager for InterfaithCaregivers of WashingtonCounty, said the grant willhelp them with their survey.
“The survey will show uswhere there are holes in
area transportation for thepeople we deal with, peopleages 60 and above,” Denjosaid. “Transportation isone of the key needs forpeople in that group. Byfinding where the holes arewe can work to improvemethods of transportationto meet more of theirneeds.”
On the Table is an inclu-sive initiative designed tobuild relationships and gen-erate action on importantissues. Thousands of peopleacross the region partici-pated in 2018. The WBCForganized and hosted con-versations at the Museumof Wisconsin Art.
Across the region, mat-ters of race, equity andinclusion were the most fre-quent topics explored attables last year, accordingto a survey of 2018 partici-pants. These matters werediscussed at 77 percent oftables.
The top four topical areaswere:
■ Race, racism, segrega-tion, equity, diversity andInclusion.
■ Community vitality,community engagement,community involvement.
■ Education, schools andyouth.
■ Health, health care,human services.
Other key findings fromOn the Table MKE 2018:
■ Conversations tookplace at over 160 locationsin Milwaukee, Waukesha,Washington and Ozaukeecounties.
■ Participants were from
at least 61 unique ZIP codes.■ 99 percent would par-
ticipate again.■ 86 percent felt their
table bridged a social dividein a meaningful way.
■ 90 percent planned totake action as a result oftheir conversation.
Kristin Brandner, execu-tive director of United Wayof Washington County, saidat last fall’s event at MOWAsome of the human ser-vices needs they see inthe community centeraround drugs and alcohol,mental illness, homeless-ness and the need foremployability skills.
Peter Ziegler, president ofthe board of the WestBend Community Founda-tion, said there was plentyof discussion at each of thetables at last year’s event.He said the WBCF chal-lenged “each of the tablesto come up with an action-able idea that hopefully ourboard will agree to fund forbetween $500 and $2,500grants — ideas that willgrow into something muchbigger and receive moneyin additional years.”
Ellen Gilligan, GreaterMilwaukee Foundationpresident and CEO, saidthrough On the Table MKE,the community “pro-claimed its courage, itsresilience and its innova-tion.”
The WBCF is a partner ofthe Greater MilwaukeeFoundation, which handlesadministration, informa-tion, and the safekeeping offunds.
