DIVINE INTERVENTION MINISTRIES
For over 15 years, Divine Intervention has been providing a warming room for people
experiencing homelessness. Each season, from December 1 through March 31,
20 adults find a safe and supportive environment at Tippecanoe Presbyterian Church (125 W Saveland Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207). Our guests are referred to us through
Milwaukee’s Continuum of Care (2-1-1) and agree to a covenant that supports
community life and provides a safe space for all. Guests are admitted at 6 pm and leave
the following morning by 8 am. Guests engage in community life by taking turns
washing dishes, shoveling sidewalks, and weekly cleaning of common spaces.
Transportation to laundry once per week is offered and laundry expenses are covered.
Dinner is served family style every evening (churches who partner with us in this
ministry bring in a prepared meal each night and join us for dinner). A continental
breakfast is provided each morning before guests head out for the day, and they have
access to “to go” foods they can pack for midday.
If you would like to volunteer, please contact us at

Please pray for those experiencing homelessness, for the volunteers and leadership that
facilitate Divine Intervention, and we seek your prayerful support of the practical and
logistical aspects that enable us to attend to those who are seeking shelter, safety,
support and sustenance.
Your participation fuels this vital ministry! We are so grateful for your contributions.
