The Milwaukee Area Technical College teams up with the FAST Fund every year for a resource event to support students in need. This year, they opened the event to the entire community.

Partner organizations connected with attendees to offer services including energy assistance, healthcare and job support. Many organizations also donated items ranging from diapers to fresh produce.
"Food pantries don't have fresh produce, right? So we wanted to make sure they have access to fresh fruits and vegetables so that everyone has what they need," Bria Burris, executive director of the FAST Fund.
