Cathedral Center, Inc.

The Interfaith Conference assists the Cathedral Center, a homeless shelter for women and families, by providing volunteer recruitment and coordination every night of the year.  The Shelter operated in churches for three winters beginning in 1997. After that for three years the Shelter was located in a gymnasium at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, serving an average of 35 women each night. St. Francis Parish then served as the temporary home of the shelter while awaiting a complete renovation of the old convent at St. John’s Cathedral, which became our permanent facility in 2004 at 845 N. Van Buren (at the corner of Kilbourn Ave.) 

Continuous needs at the shelter

The response from congregations and individual volunteers to the needs at the Cathedral Center has been tremendous.  The Cathedral Center and Interfaith Conference are very grateful for the generosity and kindness that has been offered to the women and children who stay at the shelter.

From time to time we get calls asking about the sort of items that can be donated by youth & other groups that want to contribute to the center. Listed below are items that are needed continuously.  If your congregation, organization, or youth group has been considering a “drive” for the shelter please use this list as a start for that effort.

Donations can be taken directly to the shelter located at 845 N. Van Buren St. between the hours of 8:00am- 7:00pm. Please let us know if you plan to donate any of these items so that we can keep track of what is currently needed.  If you have any questions please call Heather or Kathy at 414-276-9050. 

Items always needed at Cathedral Center: towels, washcloths, toothbrushes, hygiene products, new underwear, diapers, new socks, large T-shirts for sleeping,  single and full size sheets, plastic cutlery.

To arrange a time to volunteer, or to set-up a reflection workshop for your group call our office at 414-276-9050.
