Street Life Communities

StreetLife Communities is dedicated to helping the needy and homeless population in Milwaukee, WI. Weekly, we help serve the community by providing clothing, food, and fellowship. 

StreetLife Communities was created in 2001 as a gang rescue. Since then, StreetLife has spread throughout the Greater Milwaukee Area and has also established another rescue mission in North Carolina.

Not only does StreetLife Communities care about each individual person who is in need, they also provide fellowship and opportunity to help those get out of their problematic situations. 

StreetLife Communities started as the result of too many volunteers at Despensa de la Paz food pantry. Because of this, the three founders asked themselves what more they could do in the community. 
 
At this point Max Ramsey, Dave Nelson, and Jack Ramsey decided to form StreetLife Communities.
