Welcome to the Milwaukee Christian Center
.....Providing social services and neighborhood development
“ Milwaukee Christian Center, are you a church or a school?” is the question we hear most often from people not aware of what we do at MCC.
2008 is a time for us to refocus and strengthen our identity to help you and others better understand who we are and what we do. Based on Christian values, MCC has quietly offered life-affirming programs and supportive services to move people beyond the challenges of poverty for the last 87 years. But, we don’t want to be quiet anymore!
The challenge we face is communicating a holistic message about who we are because we provide so many vital programs, services, and activities. Some know us as a youth program, others as a senior adults program. Clients call our Neighborhood Improvement Project for housing repairs or to buy a new house. The hungry look to our food pantry. The court refers first time offenders to our juvenile justice program. And, we offer employment opportunities to ex-offenders and low-income women entering the workforce. MCC also operates out of many different sites on Milwaukee’s near south side, so our work is widely spread throughout the community. When you hear MCC, we want you and our program participants to know us as a synergetic organization, not just a program.
I encourage you to learn more about MCC by browsing this website. We welcome your support and greatly appreciate your help in bringing about positive change in our community. We invite you to visit MCC and encourage you to become actively involved as a volunteer and/or donor. Share your gifts with others and receive the rich lessons our participants have to teach us!
Sincerely,
Kathy Baillargeon
Executive Director
The Milwaukee Christian Center is a smoke-free environment.
