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 June is the Milwaukee Rescue Mission. Find out more about their great work at https://milmission.org/.
Our mission is sharing God's love by caring for those who are poor in body, mind and spirit, to see lives transformed through Christ to hope, joy and lasting productivity. 83% of all donations go directly to restoring the lives of our hurting neighbors.
Once basic needs are met, our programs—in Safe Harbor, Joy House, Cross Trainers Academy and our North Campus—provide the structure and long-term support for struggling neighbors to consider next steps, set goals and rebuild their lives on a firm foundation.
Education is one of the best ways out of poverty.
Nearly 500 children who are at-risk in our community receive Christ-centered education at our K4-12th grade school, Cross Trainers Academy, which is located in the Lindsay Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee. Through Christian teaching, we help men, women and children continue the transition from surviving their circumstances to flourishing in spite of them.
Help Transform Lives
Our neighbors who are homeless, hungry and hurting need your immediate help. Please give now and help provide much-needed food, shelter, life-changing care and more for these precious souls.
