Mission The mission of the Ladies of Charity in Miwaukee is to clothe school-aged children in Milwaukee.
School social workers determine the clothing needs of a family and send them to our store (39th & Hampton) with a voucher. We make sure that children have new underwear and socks and nearly-new clothing for the school year. We accept financial aid and donations of new or nearly new clothing.
Our store is open from 9:00 am until noon on Thursday mornings.
For more information, contact parishioners: Mary Wohlrabe Domer (SRS '62) at (414) 881-4858 or mdomer2003@yahoo.com or Mary Klett Johnson (SRS '62) at (414) 332-2475 or mary.k.johnson@aurora.org
Roots
The Ladies of Charity has its roots in the ministry of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louis de Marillac, 17th century French saints who cared for the poor of Paris, France. St. Louise de Marillac is the patron saint of social workers.
