Help The Milwaukee Christian Center Build Strong Neighborhoods
The Milwaukee Christian Center (MCC) is a multi-faceted social service and neighborhood development agency that serves families, youth and elderly regardless of ethnicity, gender, economic status, race, religion or sexual orientation. Our programs and initiatives recognize the power of both people and place, with the belief that strong neighborhoods must include strong, safe, beautiful places and abundant opportunities for people to thrive.
We do this work focusing on four key priorities: housing, youth development, older adult programming, food security.
The MCC Food Security Program Needs Your Help!
MCC’s Food Pantry provides food to 1,000+ adults and children each month, and connects families to supports needed to become self sufficient. We need your help to support our community by leading a Food Drive of non-perishable foods and other basic needs items to share with our neighbors.
Host a Donation Drive
Hosting a food drive in support of the MCC Food Pantry is a great option for any individual or group who is interested helping those in need in our neighborhood as your schedule allows. The MCC Food Pantry is in need of unexpired, nonperishable food items year round and we rely on the community to support our neighbors who rely on our Food Pantry.
