Christmas Toy Drive

The Capuchins will be distributing over 7,000 toys to pre-registered families in Milwaukee. We are in need of new toys and donations can be dropped off at the Capuchin Community Services House of Peace site (17th and Walnut) by Thursday, Dec. 20. Please do not wrap the donations. The toys are displayed so our parents can easily find the perfect presents for their children.

Ministry of Presence

We encourage volunteers to perform a Ministry of Presence: to sit with our guests, engage them in conversation, meet them on their terms, and share your experiences. That is the greatest gift one person can give to another: to be wholly present, to listen, to be attentive, to show care.
