Donate Items

In-kind donations of clean and gently used clothing, unexpired nonperishables or other items are welcome. Unlike some other non-profits, donated items are not re-sold. They go directly to those who need them most.

In-kind donations
Donors drop off in-kind items at the House of Peace.

Warm Winter Drive

For many of our Milwaukee neighbors, every day is a struggle. Winter brings extra hardships. You can make a difference and help our neighbors keep warm this winter by donating new or gently-used warm winter gear: blankets, coats, hats, scarves, mittens, boots, etc.

Host a Hygiene Drive!
Bring your community together to collect essential hygiene items for our neighbors in need. We can drop off the empty pre-printed hygiene bags and pick them up when they're filled. These important hygiene items go right to the hands of the folks we serve at Capuchin Community Services ministry sites - House of Peace and St. Ben's.
