We’re so grateful to the Mount Carmel Lutheran Church Cook Team for preparing our meal for this Sunday’s guests and neighbors 🙏

A special thank you to Julie, Patty, Mike, Margie, Dave, Elaine and Chuck for assisting Deb our Food & Kitchen Manager today.

It’s the time & effort from our volunteers that make OLGA’s meal program possible!

Today, Two Chefs made salad entirely from our very own vegetable and herb garden and our Tuesday guests got to enjoy it. Hard work tastes good!

We had a wonderful time at Serenity Inns’ Celebration of Recovery, hearing powerful testimonies and celebrating the incredible, life changing work they do. We are grateful to be part of this community and to witness the hope, healing, and support you bring to so many people. ❤️

We are honored to share that Olga Neighborhood Wellness Services has received a grant from the Green Bay Packers Foundation! This support helps us with our dignity services, by funding our ability to provide showers, laundry, and clothing/hygeine pantry. Thank you to the Packers Foundation for investing in our community and helping us continue to make a difference on the Near West Side of Milwaukee.

Today—and all month long—we’re celebrating September birthdays with cake and ice cream at Lunch at Olga’s!

Fred, Mark, Randy, and Scott are ready to go!

The shirts say it all. These four cook, clean, serve, and truly do it all! We are so grateful for the time, energy, and heart they bring to Lunch at Olga’s every week.

Come on over and eat. Lunch is ready!

A big thank you to Nancy for a wonderful summer of volunteering! Thank you for your dedication to the Near West Side and for all the time and care you gave to our Lunch at Olga’s and shower programs. We’ll miss seeing her on Tuesdays, but we wish her all the best as she returns for a new school year ahead!

The artist is so pleased to have her quilt displayed inside the entrance of Redeemer and Olga Neighborhood Wellness Services. Her story, as displayed, honors the belief that “diversity makes for a rich tapestry…”

Our dear Dar and Alex, so vital
to the operations of both Redeemer and Olga’s, stand proudly in support of the mission and vision of each!! 🙏
