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 October is the Milwaukee Rescue Mission. Find out more about their great work at https://milmission.org/.
The Milwaukee Rescue Mission opened in 1893, and since then has reached out with compassion for the poor, hungry and homeless of our community. Each day, they provide food and shelter up to 400 men, women and children who might have nowhere else to turn without the Mission. In addition to meeting their immediate needs, they provide the training, support and guidance they need to rebuild their lives. Their efforts are only possible because of the support of good people in the community.
