Human Rights Careers shared their top 10 reasons for homelessness. How many did you identify?

Housing is a human right, but millions lack this basic right. According to a 2005 global survey, over 1.5 billion people don’t have “adequate” housing. It’s difficult to identify more precise numbers because countries have different definitions of “homelessness.” Tracking the issue is al...

Hello, Repairers!
Thank you so much for all your generous donations of winter essentials. Because of you, we have enough to last through the winter and even some for next winter. No more donations are needed. Again, thank you!
Hello, Repairers!
There is a big snowstorm headed our way, so if you need any winter essentials (coats, hats, gloves, scarves, etc), please stop by so you don't get caught in the storm unprotected.
Greetings, Repairers!
With our emergency warming room open most nights, we are running quite low on coffee. Any coffee donations are greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!!

So come on in, have a warm cup of coffee, and let our Employment Assistance Center help you complete your resume and fill out as many applications as you'd like!
Sometimes we hold ourselves back from moving forward out of guilt. We think we're not good enough or we don't deserve a better life. However, that was yesterday and today is new. Today, we ARE good enough, and we DO deserve a better life, and when you're ready, Repairers' life-restoring programs will help get you back on your feet.
Happy New Year, Repairers! What are your resolutions this year? Ours is to continue offering our services to all who need it.
Hope your Christmas was warm and cozy! As we embark upon our next holiday, New Year's, lets reflect on how Christmas at ROTB went this year.

Thank you to all who donated for Giving Tuesday, as well as throughout the year. It is because of you that we can continue to serve!
This is it, Repairers! Giving Tuesday! Will you give the gift of warmth to a neighbor with no shelter?
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=38ZUV4EF5PS8C
Greetings, Repairers!
Only a couple more days until Giving Tuesday, and if you would like to give the gift of warmth, donate to us, because 100% of all Giving Tuesday donations go to our emergency warming room. Thank you for being a Repairer of the Breach!
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=38ZUV4EF5PS8C
As Giving Tuesday approaches, think about the warmth and comfort your donation will bring to a person who finds themself without shelter tonight.
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=38ZUV4EF5PS8C
Hello, Repairers! This year, Giving Tuesday funds will go directly to our Emergency Warming Shelter. Once again, we will be open at 32 degrees instead of 20 degrees. No one should freeze because of lack of shelter. The extra food and staff, along with the extra energy costs, will increase our expenses again, and we are hoping this will help offset those costs. Anything helps. Thank you so much, Repairers!

A great time was had by all at our Annual Meeting. A few pictures. It was very informative and heartening and FUN! Thanks to everyone who was there. If you couldn't be here, mark your calendar for October 2019!
If you've been wondering how Repairers of the Breach is doing financially, take a look at this short video from the Annual Meeting last Saturday. The answer is that we are doing VERY well!!! And it is 100% because of our donors. Thank you for everything you do to make RotB a success!!
What a wonderful day we had at Repairer's of the Breach on Labor Day. Here are some highlights from photos taken by our volunteers that day. Thanks to one and all. Y'all are the best! Special shout out to the sisters of Gamma Pi Sigma who have made this a yearly event!
An Outpouring of Love A week ago, we hit a water shortage and put out an appeal for water. And through your kindness, the water came pouring in. We are humbled by your support and by your generosity. Because of you who heard our call and spread the word, like an endless waterfall, the water has poured in! Thank you to all the water bearers who heard our need and quickly responded!
Happy 4th of July! What a perfect day to post pictures of our refurbished Peace Garden. Planting of boxes done by St. Mary's Eight Grade Graduation Class. The painting of shed done by St. Mary's workday kids. And the painting of the benches done by Thayer from another volunteer group (maybe someone can fill that in below :) ). Isn't it MARVELOUS!! Many hands!
Channel 6 Fox News was onsite for an interview at the Labor Day Picnic today. Some pics and a brief portion of the interview with Executive Director James West (sorry the audio isn't great). Watch for the report tonight on Channel 6!
What a great time we had this morning meeting, greeting and thanking members of Milwaukee Police Department Homeless Outreach Team with breakfast at the Grohmann Museum on the Milwaukee School of Engineering campus. Working with the Outreach Team is another way that Repairers of the Breach partners with our community to identify, engage, and support Milwaukee's homeless community. The morning program included a video describing the importance of this program to both the Milwaukee Police and ROTB put together by Jeremy of the PRSA public relations volunteers. During our coldest months, these officers brought many to our doors for warmth and sustenance. We thank them with all of our hearts and wish them safe journey.
Tomorrow is World Homeless Day (10/10/16). Just got home from Milwaukee Empty Bowls Event. If you haven't been to an Empty Bowls, potters and kids donate bowls that they have made and restaurants donate soup and the Empty Bowls people sell the bowls and you get to use the bowl to sample the soups. I went to help staff a booth and take photographs for Repairers of the Breach. As most of you know, Repairers provides two meals a day - breakfast and lunch, a warm place for people to come during the day, a clinic, and resources to help the homeless get back on their feet. Today, through the generosity of hundreds of people, the event broke its stated goal of $55,000 in three hours. Repairers is one of seven programs who will benefit from Milwaukee's support. Thank you Milwaukee School of Engineering for the venue and thank you Milwaukee!!
From weeds to tomatoes on the vine! At Repairers of the Breach, our members have been working hard on the side Peace Garden...and does it look smashing!! We are hoping that in this fine weather, everyone will make more use of it.
Summer is here and the heat is upon us! Come on over to Repairers of the Breach Center, cool off and participate in some of the programing. Check out the white board near the side entrance, sign in. Check in at the front desk to participate. Thursdays the computer lab is open 9-1, lunch is 11:30-1:30, and the clinic is open 9:30-12:30. Come on by! We've got our smiles on waiting for you!
Offering life-saving, life-sustaining, and life-restoring programs and services to supply the tools the homeless and at-risk need to become self-reliant.
