For many people, it’s hard to imagine not having enough food on the table to feed your family. But for some, that’s their reality.
In Milwaukee, there are many different organizations that reach out to help those in need with food, clothing and other assistance. For the next couple of episodes of Stories that Touch your Heart, I’ll be focusing on one of those groups: Ebenezer Stone Ministries, a non-profit organization that provides support and hope for people in need on Milwaukee’s south side, and empowers individual’s to be financially independent.
A team of volunteers make breakfast every Saturday at Ebenezer and serve around 200 people with mostly donated items. Those who eat the meal range from large families living below the poverty line to single, homeless men.
There are usually around 10 volunteers who cook and serve the meal, as well as clean up afterwards. The individuals I spoke with were from a church in Greendale, WI.
While they were serving the meal, a 75-year-old-man, Freddy Walecki, was walking among the tables and handing out a variety of items that had been given to him, ranging from canned goods to t-shirts.
