Values
We believe in the inherent dignity of every person regardless of circumstance. We work to promote acceptance and visibility. These are the values we hold in carrying out our mission and fulfilling our purpose: hope, friendship, and collaboration.

Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday evening, Street Angels’ outreach buses deliver hot meals, clothing, and essential supplies across Milwaukee County, providing consistent support to unsheltered individuals.
Why We Do It
Milwaukee faces a complex homelessness crisis. Despite the best efforts of the local homeless services system, few individuals can obtain shelter or housing on any given night. Many individuals also struggle to access essential services and support, often due to trauma, systemic barriers, or lack of awareness.
Street Angels bridges this gap by providing immediate assistance, fostering hope, and advocating for those experiencing homelessness. Our goal is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and create a more just and equitable community for all.
