Clothing Drive for Repairers of the Breach
Repairers of the Breach is a ministry that provides the only daytime shelter for homeless adults in downtown Milwaukee. It is a place where homeless men and women can find the resources they need to get back on track. This organization was started by homeless people who knew the importance of community, faith, and encouragement to make the transition to a sustainable lifestyle. Repairers provides a warming room, food, showers and laundry, a learning center, a medical clinic, art therapy, spiritual renewal, and much more.
During January and early February, we collected and donated 15 bags of clothing and personal hygiene items to Repairers of the Breach.
