• From Here to Open Doors

    Where we are and where we're going

What your gift makes possible

Your gift builds a place for Kinship. A place where food is shared, where a neighbor in crisis can sit down behind a door that closes, where a new trainee learns real skills on the job, and where the whole community can belong. Your gift expands our capacity to address hunger, isolation, and poverty in the City of Milwaukee.

Every meal served, every family stabilized, and every path to prosperity cleared in the years to come begins with the walls you help raise today.

 
What appeals to me is that through food Kinship embraces the dignity of the whole person. Once you’re part of the Kinship family, they show up for you and help you with everything.

The Difference a Home Makes

Just a few of the impacts our new home will have

View more impacts.

 

Now:

Two days a week, neighbors pick out bread and meat in a crowded hallway. The space is not accessible for those with mobility issues.

In Our New Home:

The new Food Center will have an accessible, spacious grocery area that will be open four days a week, doubling food access.

Now:

A lack of storage space not only creates bottlenecks in operations but also limits our ability to accept additional donations.

 

In Our New Home:

Expanded dry and cold storage means we can serve more neighbors and provide a safer work environment for our volunteers.
