In Milwaukee, more than 25 BMO employees donned hard hats at a site on the city’s north side to volunteer with Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity. The volunteers worked as a team to frame two new homes for families in need of affordable housing. In addition, the employees participated in a walking tour where they learned about the history of the neighborhood and the various initiatives underway to beautify the block and improve the quality of life of its residents.
