On Friday, November 20, 2020, Milwaukee Health Services, Inc. (MHSI) hosted their “9th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner Giveaway,” at their MLK Heritage Health Center, 2555 N. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. Due to COVID-19 this year was different however, as families could not just walk up to receive their free holiday meal. Families were required to preregister and drive up or have their meals delivered. This was so to minimize the risk of coronavirus transmissions in the community. MHSI along with MHS Health Wisconsin, Social Development Commission, Feeding America, Molina Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and All of Us ended up providing more than 2,800 nutritious grocery dinners to Milwaukee residents.
