I know several guys who have gone through their programs and have benefited greatly. They provide wholistic care that gives struggling individuals the resources and support they need to get back on their feet.

A place that takes care of people who have nowhere else to go.

MRM is one of the few places that seeks to help the community they serve. Their actions are congruent with their mission, to feed the body and the soul (Matthew 4:4). I've had the privilege of spending time, and talking with some of the men who look to MRM as a place of refuge, when family or friends are not available to help. Keep up the great work!

MRM is a beacon of hope for Milwaukee. Their staff is committed, trained, and gracious. They offer services free of charge and are completely run by generous donations. Some of the negative reviews here are truly baffling!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
