It's baaaack! Record's Roast of Milwaukee is coming up on Monday, October 5, at the Cooperage. Don't miss this change to roast (affectionately) the city we all love. Once again, proceeds help our Milwaukee Women's Center, which provides emergency shelter and wraparound services to people surviving domestic violence and homelessness. We're grateful for Milwaukee Record's longstanding support. 💜 Get your ticket before they're gone!

Local comedians will be taking swipes at the city to help kick off the Milwaukee Comedy Festival and raise funds for Milwaukee Women’s Center.

It was fantastic to spend the evening with longtime and new friends as we celebrated 50 years of service to our community at the Baird Center on Friday. Thanks to those who showed up, contributed to our Housing Stability Fund, and are working with us to ensure that our community members can meet their needs and live with dignity. A special shout-out goes to our Presenting Sponsor Direct Supply, our incredible Board President Sharon R. Jordan, Mayor Cavalier Johnson, Shakita LaGrant-McClain Director of the Milwaukee County Department of Health & Human Services, Keynote Speaker Yusuf Dahl, Miss Dia Green The Poetry Pusher, Emcee Diana Gutiérrez, auctioneer Dan Pronley, Christopher's Project, and the Shawn Holmes Choir! Thank you all for your support and generosity. 💚

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Last week, we celebrated the kickoff of the Ms. Molly Foundation's annual fundraising campaign benefiting the Milwaukee Women's Center.
Strong community partnerships make our work possible, and we are deeply grateful for the longstanding support of MOLLY MAID of East Metro Milwaukee and Racine and the Ms. Molly Foundation. Their commitment helps ensure that families have access to critical resources, including emergency shelter, counseling, housing assistance, and more.
Thank you for standing with us and helping ensure people have access to the support and resources they need to thrive 💜

Did you know that the Milwaukee Women's Center almost shuttered its doors in the early 2000s? Fortunately for domestic violence survivors needing emergency shelter, behavioral health treatment, and wraparound services, the MWC found Community Advocates and decided to merge to increase both organizations' capacity to serve survivors.

CA board member Pam Klein, who was the MWC board president during the transition, explains what could have been lost--and how much has been gained. 💚💜💚
