CONNECT | Love Your Neighborhood.
Jesus commanded us to "love our neighbor," and we believe one of the best ways to do that is in our own neighborhoods. Below are a number of avenues and opportunities for volunteer opportunities in Southeastern Wisconsin. For specific questions, please contact the individual groups. Brew City Catholic is not formally affiliated with any of these organizations.
Parish Service Opportunities
Parishes around the Archdiocese of Milwaukee offer opportunities for you to love your neighbor - that is, find an opportunity in your actual neighborhood. For a list of what's happening at a parish near you, download our Parish Outreach Opportunity List (Excel spreadsheet), and contact the parish directly to get involved.
Food Pantries
There are many food pantries throughout the archdiocese. Find one near you and get information on how you can help!

Riverwest Food Pantry
The Riverwest Food Pantry is a community of generosity where all have a place at the table. We alleviate food insecurity by providing access to healthy food through an interactive shopping experience. We grow and cook food together since solidarity is the best entry point into our shoppers lives. We sit and listen so we can create nurturing mentor relationships that connect people to needed resources. We invite young adults to find greater meaning in their lives through a year of service and living in community. We create a space where members of our community discover the gifts they are meant to offer and the gifts they are meant to receive. Individuals are always welcome to drop in at our St. Casimir site on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturday mornings. Groups of 3 or more, please contact volunteer@riverwestfoodpantry.org or leave a voicemail at 414-301-1478. For more info see www.riverwestfoodpantry.org
Reach Out Reach In
Consider serving as an adult leader for teens serving on Reach Out Reach In (RORI). RORI is a local summer service week for teens aged 15 through 18, who have completed 9th grade and who want to be involved in direct service and social action in our community. The sites, located around the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, include homeless shelters, adult day care, community organizations, meal programs, farms, child care and more. The experience includes community, simple living, prayer, and justice education. Adults serve as worksite leaders who accompany youth to their service sites, supervise during the week, and help young people reflect on their experience. Contact Mary Osep, Administrator of Reach Out Reach In for more info and to apply: 262-825-6012 or osepm@outlook.com
