Our Vision
We support, through volunteer time and donations, non-profit organizations that serve the hungry and homeless with a focus on life changing programs and well-being.
2023 Mission Projects
MUMC is a permanent Collection Site for the Midwest Mission Distribution Center
We collected over 400 items for the Midwest Mission drive in conjunction with the in-gathering in Green Bay, WI. MUMC is a donation center for disaster and poverty relief items that are sent where ever the need is the greatest, at home and around the world. Donations included 288 hand-sown school bags, 42 personal dignity kits, 17 home care kits, 8 sewing machines, and numerous individual items for the kits. Thank you to everyone who contributed, including the Brown Deer and Cedarburg UM churches, Jim and Sherry Gac, Dennis Devoy, Connie Pukaite, Kim Waters, and John Wirschem. Thank you to organizers, Karen and Joel Huffman.

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.
