Support Dubuque’s Multicultural Family Center All Month Long Via Kwik Care

When it comes to supporting local non-profits, there might not be an easier and more impactful program than Kwik Care.

If you're not aware, Kwik Care has helped raise both funds and awareness for local nonprofits. Each month, Kwik Stop and Dairy Queen help collect donations for a different organization. Donations can be made easily by requesting your total purchase at any of those businesses (including at the gas pumps at Kwik Stop) be rounded up to the nearest dollar. The additional cents used to round up will be donated to the respective charity of the month.

The Kwik Care recipient for the month of May is the Multicultural Family Center (MFC) in Dubuque! The Multicultural Family Center's mission is to empower all families and community members of Dubuque to reach their potential and build unity through diversity, equity, and inclusion, per their introductory pamphlet.

Heather Hamm of Kwik Stop/Rainbo Oil dropped by the station today, along with Antonio Mouzon and Marlene Woller of MFC to talk about all the wonderful things that the non-profit does for the community in Dubuque.

In addition, Marlene Woller highlighted two MFC events that will be happening in the month of June. The first is the DBQ Pride Festival, happening Saturday, June 1st from 12-4pm on 11th Street, just outside the organization's building. There will be a DJ, kids activities, bounce houses, food trucks, and more.

Also in the month of June is Juneteenth, which the MFC is commemorating with a multi-day Freedom Celebration. Friday, June 14th is an art exhibition; the following Saturday is a picnic in Jackson Park followed by a community prayer and praise on Sunday.
