Individuals
Volunteering with Hunger Clean-Up is a rewarding experience through which you will build relationships with the Marquette and Milwaukee communities. When you sign up as an individual, we will provide you with a site at which you can volunteer with a group of other Marquette students, experiencing all of what Milwaukee has to offer first-hand.
Teams
Groups volunteering as teams have the opportunity to work together on a service project, strengthening their bonds both with each other and with the members of the Milwaukee community in which they spend their day. Teams can consist of coworkers, classmates, student organizations or simply groups of friends, with one individual serving as the team leader.
