�Cricket has been in Wisconsin a year now, and we�re truly grateful to the Milwaukee community and its residents for their continued support,� said Carrie McKenzie, district director for Cricket in Milwaukee. �We realize the Salvation Army fills a great need, especially this time of year, and we�re excited to partner with them to help keep Milwaukeeans warm this winter.�
