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.

*Thanksgiving Meal registration opens November 1st at 8am!*

For those interested in helping serve our Thanksgiving meal meal to the precious men, women and children currently staying with us, the process for registration will be the same as in years past:
On Nov 1st at 8am, please dial (414) 935-0241 and leave a message with your name, contact information and number of people in your group. Our Volunteer Coordinator will respond to those whose calls were received prior to reaching capacity.
While we would love to accommodate all wanting to help serve, interested volunteers who call after we have reached capacity for our Thanksgiving meal will be put on a waiting list and, if space opens up, contacted in the order in which calls were received.
Thank you all for your interest in serving those in need this holiday season — we appreciate you!
