Donate to Help Milwaukee's Homeless: How $10 Monthly Changes Lives at Port of Missions

Donate to Help Milwaukee's Homeless: How $10 Monthly Changes Lives at Port of Missions. Let me tell you what I see every day at Port of Missions Outreach Ministries in Milwaukee. I watch men walk through our doors looking for basic necessities, and too often, they have to leave empty-handed. It breaks my heart, especially when they can't find their size in our men's clothing section. But here's the thing - just $10 a month can help change that. 


Row of donated winter coats in various styles and muted colors hanging on a rack, with a Milwaukee bus pass prominently displayed on a wooden table in the foreground, and the Milwaukee city skyline visible through a large window in the background.

Why Your $10 Matters So Much 

Think about this: if 30 people commit to giving just $10 per month, we could provide bus cards for every single client who comes to us needing transportation. That's not just a bus card – that's the ability to get to a job interview, make it to a doctor's appointment, or access vital services across Milwaukee County. 


Our Men Need Your Help Now 

Right now, our biggest challenge is men's clothing. While we're blessed with plenty of women's donations, our men's department is constantly running low. Here's what we urgently need: 

  • Winter coats that can stand up to Milwaukee winters 

  • Warm sweaters (our men layer these for extra warmth) 

  • T-shirts in all sizes 

  • Winter boots and shoes 

  • Professional clothing for job interviews 

  • Winter accessories (gloves, hats, scarves) 

I can't tell you how many times I've had to watch a client leave without a coat because we didn't have his size. With your help, we can change that. 


Your Monthly Gift Creates Real Change 

When you commit to $10 monthly, here's what happens: 

  • We can guarantee bus cards for clients who need them 

  • Men can reliably get to their appointments 

  • Clients can access services across Milwaukee 

  • We can plan ahead and ensure consistent support 

  • Your gift combines with others to make a big impact 


The Power of Community Support 

You know what's amazing about Milwaukee? When our community comes together, we create real change. I see it every day at Port of Missions. One person's $10 might seem small, but when combined with others, it creates a steady stream of support that helps us meet our clients' needs reliably and consistently. 


How Cold Weather Impacts Our Community 

During these cold Milwaukee days, the need becomes even more urgent. The brutal winter winds off Lake Michigan don't care if someone has a proper coat or not. That's why having enough men's winter clothing is so critical right now.

Real Talk About Real Impact 

I see firsthand how having a bus card or proper winter coat can change someone's whole situation.

Your $10 monthly gift might seem small, but trust me - it creates real change in real people's lives.
