We provide the boxes and instructions, all you need to do is fill and return the box to the House of Peace and we’ll take care of the rest.

How to HelpFor 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.

Happy New Year from everyone at Capuchin Community Services!
Thank you to everyone who served at the St. Ben’s Christmas Meal — including Archbishop Jeffrey Grob!
Guests enjoyed a festive dinner of roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, fruit, Christmas desserts, and candy!
The Meal at St. Ben’s is for anyone in need. At Christmas, that need may be for more than food — it may be for company, warmth, and a conversation. We are deeply grateful for the community support that makes this gathering possible!
Thank you again to all who served — from pouring milk and coffee to plating and delivering meals! Your presence made a difference.
