Monthly Charity
Our community is important to us and through the years we have supported local charities and causes. In late 2009 we decided to take this even further and actively support a specific charity each month. Gilles matches your donations dollar for dollar, and 100% of the monies we collect go to the charity. Due to the generous contributions from our wonderful and caring customers and those from Gilles, this program has been a terrific success. Thank you for helping us give back to those in need in our community!
If you have a suggestion for a charity for us to highlight, please let us know by using this link. When choosing a charity we focus on those that help people directly and have administrative costs of 10% or less.
The Monthly Charity for January is Repairers of the Breach. Find out more about their great work at https://www.repairers.org/.
Repairers of the Breach is Milwaukee’s only daytime homeless shelter open six days per week. Our mission is simple: To provide life-saving, life-sustaining, and life-restoring programs Our vision is simple: an inclusive society whose members all have adequate food, housing, health care, a support system, literacy, and an empowered voice Getting there is less simple. You see, the causes for housing instability are multi-faceted and layered, and therefore, so must be the tools to get out. Providing employment assistance, for example, is all well and good, but who can concentrate on resume writing when they are starving? Our solution… our Breach Cafe. Offering nutritious food is wonderful, but what if you need insulin to keep going? Our solution… our Free Medical Clinic. Having an interview is wonderful, but who can compete in old clothes? Our solution… our Shelter & Resources program, which offers showers, hygiene products, and clean clothes, including professional interview clothes! Our Members (the homeless and at-risk) work hard to become permanently self-sufficient, and by offering the tools they need, we offer them the greatest chance at success. And successful they are!
