Sock-tober is just 22 days away!

Please consider holding a Sock Drive for us at your church, work place, school, civic organization, store, the great part about a drive is, you can collect anywhere.

Each month the SVDP Healing Waters Shower Program provides approximately 16 showers a day (Sunday - Friday) we always assure that our guests get clean clothes to change into. A vital part of good health starts with your feet. During the "soggy" months we assure our guests have clean, dry socks when they come in from the rain or snow.
We can use socks for everyone; men, women & children. We are especially low right now on children's socks.

Contact Peggy at 414-649-9555 or [email protected] or in the comment section for help with marketing materials, collection recepticles or for pick up.

EVERY paid helps! Your help would be SCARY good!! 👻🧦

This was Jennifer's first year organizing the food & volunteers for St. Monica's (who are rock stars and volunteer for block party and the Christmas Party each year) & she hit it out of the park. We are SO grateful for her organization and giving heart. Thank you Jennifer & the WHOLE crew at St. Monica's.

It's sad to think but winter is just around the corner & during the cold months, SVDP Meal Program partners with MKE Warming Rooms & Mke Street Angels, Inc. to assure that all of our unhoused friends have a warm meal & a bag lunch for breakfast in the morning.

This is where we need your help! From November 23, 2026 - March 31st, 2027 we will need 240 additional lunches per week. Making bag lunches is a GREAT activity for your:
- Scout Troop
- Church Group
- Civic Group
-School Group

We can help provide your group with needed items if you'd like to volunteer to come to our site and prepare lunches. We also happily accept premade lunches.

Please consider helping us out with this project OR making a even a small financial contribution. Thank you!
