Serving others can be a life-changing experience — and not just for you! A warm meal served with a smile, a compassionate hug for a hurting soul, a listening ear for a young mother in distress . . .

Here at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, your simple act of kindness may be the encouragement that a hungry, homeless and hurting neighbor needs to take that first step toward a new beginning.

*Christmas Eve Meal registration is now CLOSED.*

While we would love to accommodate all wanting to help serve, we have reached capacity for our Christmas Eve meal volunteering.
Interested volunteers who called after we have reached capacity have been added to a waiting list — and will be contacted in the order in which calls were received, should space become available.
Thank you all for your interest in serving those in need this holiday season — we appreciate you!
