For Evangelist Jessica Currie, Community Advocates is more than an organization she supports, it's an organization that supported her. đź’š

After experiencing homelessness and navigating difficult challenges, Jessica found hope and assistance through Community Advocates. Today, she proudly serves as a member of the Board of Directors, helping to ensure others have access to the same compassion and support that helped change her life.

Jessica’s journey is a powerful reminder of what's possible when a community invests in people with dignity, care, and hope.

"Community Advocates is not just a place that I support, it's a place that supported me."

Learn how Community Advocates supports people like Jessica, and why tough times don’t need to last forever. There is hope. Join Jessica as we lift up our community members through life-changing service, support, and advocacy. ✨

For Griselda Torres, serving at the Milwaukee Women's Center is about more than providing shelter, it's about helping people rebuild hope. đź’ś

Every day, she walks alongside individuals and families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives, believing that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect.

Through simple acts of kindness and unwavering support, Griselda has witnessed the strength and resilience of the people Community Advocates serves and those experiences continue to inspire her own growth as a leader and advocate.

"Every family that finds stable housing, every guest who feels seen and supported, and every life that takes a step toward a brighter future reminds me why this work matters."

Whether navigating housing instability, seeking domestic violence services at the Milwaukee Women’s Center, or needing urgent energy assistance, Community Advocates always finds a way to meet people where they are during life's most challenging moments.

Join Griselda and meet our community’s challenges. Learn more about our mission and services, RSVP for our 50th Anniversary Celebration on September 18, or make a contribution to the people we serve.

Every day, Community Advocates invests in people when they need it most.

For Matt Raymond, Supportive Housing Program Director, that commitment comes to life through programs like Autumn West, where individuals experiencing homelessness are met with hope, dignity, and compassionate care.

As our community continues to face growing housing challenges, Matt believes these investments and connections matter more than ever.

"A test of our community is the investment we make in people experiencing crisis."

Join Matt in lifting people out of crisis and into stability to build a stronger Milwaukee where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
