Restoring homes and rebuilding lives.
Community Warehouse is a faith-based organization serving Milwaukee’s under-invested neighborhoods. We sell new building materials at a fraction of retail price, so every family can afford a home they’re proud of. Every purchase helps fund our paid training program for men and women rebuilding their lives after incarceration.

Community Warehouse is a faith-based ministry. We do this work because we believe every person carries God-given dignity and no story is beyond redemption.
