W h o W e A r e

For many years, community and government organizations have been trying to assist communities in breaking from poverty, disease, illiteracy, violence and hunger. However, in many central cities across the country, despite great amounts of financial assistance, little change results. The emerging view today, as society's beliefs have changed, is one of sustainable development by seeking to integrate spiritual, physical and social aspects into the “change process.” Brothers and Sisters In Christ Serving (BASICS) in Milwaukee, is a Christian organization which provides “ministry outreach leadership and resources” to prepare indigenous leaders to support sustainable community development by integrating spiritual, social and physical aspects into the change process. BASICS recognizes the need for equipping Christian leaders to administer ministries in holistic ways and is committed to effecting a spirit of unity. Its primary partners are both church and outreach ministries whose missions are based upon Christian values and a commitment to serving the needs of central cities.

W h a t A r e W e D o i n g

The City of Milwaukee has many excellent faith-based ministries working on the front lines of need. Their leaders and volunteers are moved by a genuine passion to relieve suffering. Like all growing organizations, they need counsel to make the most of their efforts. For ministries showing promise for ongoing, fruitful service, and willing to be accountable for their actions, BASICS provides help in these project areas.

For 52 years, Silver Spring Neighborhood Center has

been a stabilizing presence of Milwaukee’s Northwest

side. Silver Spring Neighborhood Center is a nonprofit

social service agency whose mission is to build a safer,

stronger neighborhood in the community. The center

was founded on the settlement house model in 1958 to

serve the residents of northwest Milwaukee and the

neighboring communities. Located in the heart of West

lawn, the State of Wisconsin’s largest low-income public

housing development, Silver Spring Neighborhood

Center serves this community as well as residents

coming from many surrounding areas.

Our mission is to create peaceful communities in which domestic respect and a life free from violence is the right of every woman, man and child.

Sojourner Family Peace Center provides education, advocacy and resources to keep people safe. We operate a 42-bed shelter that has provided safety and support services to thousands of women and children. Other programs include a 24-Hour Domestic Violence Hotline, Domestic Abuse Victim Advocates in the Milwaukee District Attorney’s Office, Belle Resource Center for Women and Children, Courthouse Advocacy and Restraining Order Clinic, Legal Emergency Assistance, Children’s Advocacy, Ending Violence through Education and BA-Beyond Abuse, for men and women seeking alternatives to abusive behavior. Sojourner Family Peace Center is committed to creating communities where people live peacefully. In February of 2009, the Task Force on Family Violence and Sojourner Truth House joined together to form a single organization, Sojourner Family Peace Center. The goal of this merger is to more effectively and efficiently deliver domestic violence victims a broad range of resources and services. Combining the services of the two organizations means families will have a single, strong organization to turn to and one resource to go for help. The merger also allows the agencies, which have a long history of grant and fundraising collaboration, to increase program efficiencies and streamline fundraising efforts.
