Serving Milwaukee from two locations
One mission. Two locations. Learn more about us.
The House of Peace
The House of Peace provides food, clothing and other assistance to individuals and families.
St. Ben’s Community Meal
An open door serving people experiencing homelessness and hunger since 1968.
Volunteer
Volunteers are key to Capuchin Community Services and the outreach at the House of Peace and St. Ben’s Community Meal. You or your organization can get involved today by searching for an available volunteer opportunity.
Volunteer with Capuchin Community ServicesDonate 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
School Supply Drive
Our annual School Supply Drive is live now! Help us set our young scholars up for success this school year. Purchase items from our wish list, buy them yourself and deliver or ship them to us, or make a cash donation in any amount to support the drive. Thank you ahead of time for building a better future for our community.
Partners
Capuchin Community Services works alongside these valued partners to deliver food, legal and medical assistance to the people of Milwaukee.
Capuchin Community Services offers the largest food pantry in Milwaukee at the House of Peace, while St. Ben’s Community Meal has been serving a homemade community meal since 1970! We were able to feed nearly 19,000 last year out of the food pantry, plus we distributed 2,708 Thanksgiving and Christmas food boxes. The St. Ben’s evening meal fed up to 37,000 people last year. Wow! This wouldn’t be possible without your great support, thank you! 😀
Earlier this week, the board from Catholic Financial Life, including Archbishop Listecki, served dinner at St. Ben`s Community Meal! Before dinner, Archbishop Listecki gave a blessing for guests, staff and volunteers. The Archbishop took to the start of the meal line by greeting guests and handing out dinner trays. Thank you, Catholic Financial Life, for supporting us and serving dinner!
Please join us tomorrow, Saturday, September 21 at 1 pm for lunch and a showing of Barbershop in the St. Ben`s Meal Hall! All are welcome to join this Movie Day, sponsored by The Knights of Columbus #4706.

Thank you for all that you do to support us in feeding the community. We could not do this if not for you!
Two postulants, Patrick and Aaron, in ministry at the House of Peace! During the week they split their time between the Food Pantry and the Clothing Closet. There are eleven postulants this year splitting up their time in ministry at CCS. Be sure to say hi if you see them! 👋 😀
