SPECIAL TO THE CATHOLIC HERALD
MILWAUKEE -- With a downturn in the economy and cuts in donations and funding, the St. Vincent de Paul meal site on the southside is stretching to meet the needs of area children and the homeless.
From warm showers for the homeless to January school supplies for students who don't have enough material to finish the school year, the St. Vincent de Paul Meal Ministry in Milwaukee provides daily services beyond its meal programs. In April, the meal ministry in Milwaukee will celebrate 20 years of service.
But besides meeting other needs, the heart of this service centers around the table and food.
