The Milwaukee Homeless Veterans Initiative was founded in 2008, by veterans, and is run by veterans.

We are also seeing volunteers for the Salvation Army.  This is a poem from my archives:

Salvation Army
bell ringers
so cheerful in the cold
adding a dollar
to a Red Kettle or two

It is good to see food pantry collections in grocery stores.  I love my old sweaters and books from thrift stores.  All works together.
