New recurring video series hosted by Michael Kryshak will highlight unusual, historic, and innovative wipe products from Rebel Converting’s extensive collection
MILWAUKEE, WI — June 1, 2026 — Rebel Converting is bringing the history of wipes to LinkedIn with the launch of a new recurring video series, “Wipe of the Day.” Hosted by Rebel Converting President Michael Kryshak, the series will feature unique items from the company’s well-known Museum of Wipes, giving viewers a closer look at how wipes, packaging, cleaning products, and disposable hygiene solutions have changed over the past several decades.
The series begins June 1, 2026, and will showcase one product at a time from Rebel Converting’s collection, which includes more than 10,000 wipe-related items gathered over many years. From vintage baby wipes and disinfecting wipes to industrial products, international packaging, novelty wipes, and unusual market experiments, the museum offers a rare look at the evolution of an everyday product category.
Each “Wipe of the Day” video will share the story behind a featured item, including what makes it interesting, how it fits into the broader wipes industry, and what it may reveal about consumer behavior, manufacturing trends, product innovation, or packaging design.
“For years, we’ve collected wipes that tell a bigger story about this industry,” said Mike Kryshak, President of Rebel Converting. “Some products were ahead of their time, some were fun or unusual, and others show how much the market has changed. This series gives us a chance to share those stories in a simple and engaging way.”
A Museum Dedicated to Wipe History
Although wipes are used every day in homes, businesses, healthcare settings, and industrial environments, many people do not realize how much innovation has shaped the category. Rebel Converting’s Museum of Wipes preserves that history through products that reflect changes in:
Baby and personal care wipes
Household cleaning wipes
Industrial and commercial wipes
Healthcare and disinfecting products
Sustainable and biodegradable wipe materials
Packaging formats, labeling, and branding
The collection also highlights broader industry shifts, including changing consumer expectations, regulatory requirements, sustainability efforts, and advances in manufacturing technology.
Connecting Industry History with Modern Manufacturing
Rebel Converting is a U.S.-based wet wipe contract manufacturer serving brands across a wide range of markets. The company provides custom wet wipe manufacturing, dry wipe converting, formulation support, private label production, packaging solutions, and regulatory guidance for customers developing wipe products.
Unlike manufacturers that sell their own consumer brands, Rebel Converting focuses exclusively on helping customers bring their own wipe products to market. Its capabilities include hygienic wipes, industrial wipes, coreless rolls, dry wipes, EPA-registered disinfectant wipes, FDA-regulated products, and sustainable wipe solutions.
With the “Wipe of the Day” series, Rebel Converting is combining its industry experience with its commitment to preserving the product history that helped shape modern wipe manufacturing.

MILWAUKEE, WI (April 29, 2026) — What started as a simple bike donation drive has evolved into one of southeastern Wisconsin’s most impactful grassroots community initiatives. This year, Rebel Converting’s partnership at the 16th Annual Bike Collection Drive once again proved the power of collective action—drawing hundreds of donors to Milwaukee’s lakefront and generating a wave of support for local families in need.
From early morning through midday, community members lined up to donate gently used bicycles, transforming a single morning into a movement fueled by generosity, purpose, and shared impact.
A Community Effort with Tangible Impact
The event, held in partnership with Lake Express Ferry, incentivized giving with complimentary roundtrip ferry tickets for the first 500 donors—an initiative valued at six figures and designed to maximize participation.
But the real value lies beyond the tickets.
Each donated bike will be refurbished and redistributed to children and families across Milwaukee—many of whom rely on these bikes not just for recreation, but for transportation, independence, and connection to their community.
More Than a Manufacturer: A Mission-Driven Organization
For Rebel Converting, a leading U.S. wet wipe contract manufacturer, the annual bike drive represents more than philanthropy—it reflects a core belief that businesses have a responsibility to invest in the communities they serve.
Through its outreach arm, Rebel Reform, the company has led a wide range of initiatives—from distributing millions of face masks during the pandemic to supporting nonprofits throughout southeastern Wisconsin.
“Events like this are a reminder that when people come together, real change happens,” said Loretta Kryshak, Executive Director of Rebel Reform. “A bike may seem simple, but for a child, it can mean freedom, confidence, and opportunity.”
Momentum Continues with Upcoming Community Event
The impact of the bike collection doesn’t end with donations. The refurbished bikes will be distributed at the upcoming Southside Bike Day at Kosciuszko Park this June, an annual event that brings together families, volunteers, and local organizations to promote healthy, active lifestyles.
A Growing Legacy of Giving
Now in its 16th year, the Bike Collection Drive continues to grow in both scale and significance. With each passing year, it reinforces a simple but powerful message: when businesses and communities align around a shared purpose, the results extend far beyond a single event.
As Milwaukee continues to face economic and social challenges, initiatives like this serve as a blueprint for how local companies can drive meaningful, measurable change one bike at a time.
Milwaukee, WI — December 16, 2025 — Just One More Ministry (JOMM), Milwaukee’s leading Christian food rescue organization, today announced the launch of its annual Year-End Fundraiser, “The Best Bargain in Charity — Rescued Food for Just 14 Cents Per Pound.” The campaign aims to raise $100,000 by year’s end to support the ministry’s mission of transforming food waste into nourishment for Milwaukee families facing hunger. Funds raised will help sustain operations projected to deliver more than five tons of rescued food per day in 2025.
Founded in 2013 by recovered addict Chris Capper, Just One More Ministry began with a simple act—rescuing and distributing just 20 loaves of bread. Today, the organization has grown into a regional food rescue leader, having distributed more than 30 million pounds of food since its founding. JOMM now partners with nearly 90 grocery stores, restaurants, food suppliers, inner-city churches, and community organizations, rescuing and distributing approximately 3.5 million pounds of nutritious food annually and sustaining more than 17,000 meals each week for Milwaukee’s hungry, homeless, veterans, seniors, and families living in food deserts.
Water this tree to provide 5 tons of food daily to the hungry.
“This Year-End Fundraiser isn’t just about dollars—it’s about dignity, hope, and impact,” said Chris Capper, Founder and Executive Director of Just One More Ministry. “For just 14 cents per pound, donors help turn food that would otherwise be wasted into life-sustaining meals. Every dollar raised provides approximately seven pounds of rescued food, making this truly the best bargain in charity. We’re inviting our community to help ‘water the JOMM Giving Tree’ and help us bloom even brighter in the year ahead.”The math behind “Rescued Food.”
JOMM operates with an efficiency-driven model designed to maximize donor impact. Food rescue and distribution costs are kept low, with volunteers powering operations six days a week, ensuring that donor dollars stretch further to meet rising community needs. In 2024, the ministry exceeded projected impact goals, continuing a decade of steady growth that includes the acquisition of a 24,000-square-foot warehouse in 2019 and the launch of weekly mobile outreach trucks in 2021 to serve underserved neighborhoods across Milwaukee.
Donations can be made securely online at www.jomministry.org/donate, with options for one-time gifts, recurring monthly support, and employer matching gifts. Every contribution directly supports JOMM’s dual mission: providing wholesome food to those in need while offering prayer-based encouragement and addiction recovery support to individuals seeking stability and healing.
As the holiday season unfolds, Just One More Ministry invites individuals, families, businesses, and faith communities to join the movement. More than $17,000 has already been raised, but additional support is urgently needed to reach the $100,000 goal and sustain critical services into 2025.

By rescuing nutritious food that would otherwise go to waste and distributing it free of charge to partner organizations, JOMM addresses food insecurity while providing spiritual encouragement and addiction recovery support.
