MHC and Milwaukee Irish Fest – A Good Thing

Volunteers are crucial to MHC and Irish Fest. Without them it just doesn’t work. During Irish Fest MHC needs you to donate your time and efforts to help make the Sports Area a success but we also need to support our Youth League Sponsor, Irish Fest.

How can you help and still volunteer for MHC?

Move the Office and Unload the Trucks

Dates/times: Saturday, August 9th - 10am - 5pm

Contact: Therese Fenely - [email protected]

The IF office needs to be loaded on to trucks, and several trucks need to be unloaded at the Summerfest grounds. They really need strong, healthy helpers and MHC would be GREAT for this job. Lunch, snacks and beverages are provided.

• Jobs are available for all ages and needs and include admission, a parking voucher and food tickets.

• Putting the kids to work can really help defray the cost of a weekend at the festival.

• Any kids who work prior to the festival or in an early AM festival job still gets a ticket. Before the festival and the Monday 8/19 volunteers will be provided with meals and beverages as well.
