You will be asked to give your name, social security number, and birth date. Then show up the next Monday, Wednesday, or Friday to be interviewed to be put on the waiting list. Provided that you are not a sex offender, you will be put on the waiting list. You will be let in within usually 3 - 5 days depending on whether any current resident leaves. The Guest House does not have meals every day, and they rarely have breakfast, but there is a refrigerator filled with sandwiches if you are hungry. This is a slight drawback, but it is not the end of the world as there are a few other places where a person down on his or her luck can get a free meal. There doesn't seem to be a required bedtime. The lights in the dorms go out around PM, but you can stay in the basement or the main lobby room indefinitely watching TV if you like. Everyone has to be awake and out of the building by 7:30 AM. There is a chores board that they write different names on each week for people that are responsible for different daily chores that week. Each resident is assigned a case manager who will help each resident gain employment and a place to live. It is a good place, and I found all of the staff and volunteers to be good people that treat the residents like people as opposed to treating them like less than people which staff at another area homeless shelter does.

I worked for not one, but two corporations that forced us to donate to United Way and I wasn't making much money at either place. But that wasn't here in Milwaukee and a couple of my favorite charities are connected to United Way of Greater Milwaukee and it turns out even here at their headquarters you can come and volunteer and in exchange you can get a good feeling and free coffee. They provide training for charities under their umbrella and they often post information about charitable fund raising events coming up. The place is also a good venue for a medium size meeting when they don't have something going on, it's an historic building that's recently had an excellent renovation.

Don't ever come to this Mission ever. Staffs don't treat us friendly way, they give attitudes and make people upset and angry. Staffs don't give a crap if your belongs had been stolen, and do nothing about it. Case workers at Mission does excellent job and respecting me being deaf, communicated with me in right fair way by writing down and spoke through the phone as translator into words, they had patience with me which is impressed and respectful. Staffs aren't respectful at all. They need to replace unprofessional staffs like Will, Jeffery, and white guy, skinny one. Other staffs was friendly and nice, respectful to me expect Will, Jeffery and white guy for carelessly communication with deaf people. Terrible staffs ever. I'm planning to sue them with ADA laws.

I haven't been here in quite a while, but I wanted to give them a shout out and say what I know…read moreabout them. I cannot do them justice since they have many programs here to help members of our community that I haven't worked with. I have volunteered here a few times when I was a student through UW-Milwaukee. I helped bag groceries to be handed out to members of the community who needed help. They work very hard to create a balanced bag nutritionally each time such as protein, breakfast items, meat/ eggs, fruits/ veg, dessert (if they have any), soup, pasta/ rice, and a few other types of items I'm forgetting. When they have fresh fruits and vegetables they place them out for people to pick from. They also let people pick out bread items. The number of bags people receive depends on family size. They also have baby food items for those who need them. I also organized personal cleaning supplies (keep the good stuff, throw out the bad/ expired, put out the smaller stuff for people to pick out for free when they came to pick up food, etc). I thought this was really nice of them to have available, many people looked through the baskets once I started filling them. The staff is very kind to those who come in needing assistance and try to help. The area I worked in was basic but clean. They treat the community members that need help with respect (I've seen orgs where they don't treat people very well, this is not one of those orgs!). Great place to help the local community and for people to receive assistance. I've only scratched the surface as to what this nonprofit does for the community, check out their website. Time/ money/ personal donations brought here are not wasted!

This is such a great place for everyone. I have been volunteering at Ronald McDonald House for many…read moreyears and I am constantly impressed by the organization. Guests are greeted by friendly faces and helpful volunteers and staff willing to help them with anything to make their stay better. The building is massive (especially since the recent expansion) with lots of guest rooms, indoor and outdoor playgrounds, plenty of kitchens, fitness center, arcade, and so much more. All areas are maintained by staff and volunteers to keep a clean and comfortable environment for the perfect home away from home. The kitchens are stocked with anything you may need to prepare a home cooked meal, as well as many days where organizations will come in and cook for you. The house plans activities for the week with art therapy, movie nights, pet therapy, and so much more to provide great support and care. The location is adjacent to the MRMC campus with a skywalk, over the busy street, to Children's Hospital. If walking is not for you, there is a van shuttle to take families to and from the hospitals without having to worry about transportation. The fantastic facilities, great staff, friendly volunteers, and many services is what makes RMHC a great place dedicated for families facing medical challenges. There is plenty of good things to say about it!

What a beautiful facility for families that need it most. At capacity, those families number 70…read more I was at Ronald McDonald house this evening making sandwiches for people that will need them the next day. Or even if they wake up that evening or wee hours of the night/morning in need of some nourishment. I was told most of what me made (about 6 or so loaves of bread worth in addition to salads and bagged snacks) would be gone well before noon the next day. Most of the staff here are volunteers and very dedicated to this place. It was very humbling to be there. Aside from making sandwiches you can come in with a group and make "family dinner" Sunday through Thursday or Saturday (Fridays are the one night excluded). I'd love to come back and do this with a dedicated group of 8 - 10 ready to get creative with a menu and show the residents a throwdown. There are so many thoughtful things, such as a gym, an arcade with ping pong table, playroom, outdoor patio, outdoor playhouse, outdoor babbling brook that I was told is very soothing, non-denominational chapel, a community loom where anyone can add a piece of fabric, a music room to at your instrument and the coveted "Magic Room" -- which I won't give it away. Please instead come volunteer for a night and find out! Residents here have to come to their rooms at least once every 24 hours. This is to make the best use of their provided space for those truly in need. A $20 per day donation is asked, but no one deserving will be turned away. The largest sponsors for this facility are local corporations and local people. Yes, McDonalds plays a part, as well. But truly it's a lot about local corporations. And those local people who sponsor or volunteer. Also some local sports athletes. The stunning metal tree sculpture on the tall fireplace mantle is detailed with leaves, each etched on the back in the name of a sponsor. There are jewels below it, which represent sponsors able to give more and also embedded within the tree are butterflies which indicate large endowments. Writing this I realized that this is my 400th review on Yelp. How fitting that it be something that is so helpful to people who truly deserve the most love in the world at a given time. Happy Holidays to all!
