In Milwaukee, when men or mothers with children need a hot meal, a warm, safe bed, or a place to put their lives back together, they come to the Milwaukee Rescue Mission. We are here to provide care and support to people who are truly in need. Our departments that deliver comprehensive programs include:
- Safe Harbor, the Mission's refuge for homeless, hurting men.
- Joy House, our place of safety and support for homeless mothers with children.
- CrossTrainers Academy, a K-5th grade Christian school for at-risk children in the city of Milwaukee.
Our mission statement
In response to the command of Jesus, we compassionately serve to help make whole the hungry, homeless and poor in body, mind and spirit for the glory of God. "...to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter...Isaiah 58:7."

Joe's Story
He came to MRM thinking he’d just need a meal or two, a place to collect his thoughts while he figured out what to do next. But then he learned about our LifeSkills program and decided that he belonged here.
