🎃👻 Happy Halloween from Walker’s Point Youth & Family Center! 🧡🖤

Our YHDP/Outreach team had a spooktacular time celebrating with our amazing partners at Pathfinders! From spooky treats and delicious snacks to a fun-filled Trunk-or-Treat for youth in housing and their children, it was a wonderful opportunity to come together and celebrate the season! 🍬🕸️

A huge thank you to Pathfinders for hosting us and for continuing to create meaningful moments of joy, connection, and community for the young people we serve!

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Halloween! 🎃✨

⚾💙💛 How lucky are we to have the Milwaukee Brewers?! 💛💙⚾

Not only do they keep us on the edge of our seats, biting our nails, and cheering at the top of our lungs with some AMAZING baseball, but they also show up for their community in such meaningful ways! 💙

We are beyond grateful that Walker’s Point Youth & Family Center was selected as one of the shelters to receive a donation from the Brewers’ 50/50 Raffle! This generosity helps us continue providing safety, support, and hope to vulnerable youth in our community.

It’s one thing to have a great baseball team, but it’s something truly special to have a team that cares so deeply about the city they represent. Milwaukee is lucky to have you, and so are we! 💛

THANK YOU, Milwaukee Brewers, for being champions both on and off the field! 🫶⚾

Now let’s go, BREWERS!! 💙💛🏆

🌿 We are so lucky to have the Mitchell Park Domes right here in our community!

In the heart of Milwaukee, the Domes offer a beautiful space where you can step away from the city for a moment and feel surrounded by nature, color, and beauty. 🌺🌴

We are incredibly grateful to the The Milwaukee Domes for generously donating a membership to Walker’s Point Youth & Family Center. Because of their generosity, young people throughout our programs will have the opportunity to visit the Domes, explore something new, and experience the peace and beauty of this Milwaukee treasure.

Thank you for helping us create meaningful experiences for the youth we serve. 💚

One thing we have learned over and over again in this work is that no one organization can do it alone. We need each other, and our clients need us to need each other. ❤️

This weekend, Walker’s Point Youth & Family Center had tables at TWO resource fairs, and we left both feeling incredibly grateful for the people and organizations we get to do this work alongside.

The first was hosted by Pathfinders to make sure young people know about the resources and support available to them. The second was hosted at Ascension Lutheran Church, which is also home to our administrative offices. The church opened its doors and brought nonprofits together to support their congregation and the surrounding community.

There are so many people doing this work every day, and it isn’t always easy to be the person everyone turns to for support. That is why having great partners matters so much.

Thank you to everyone who shows up, makes the referral, shares a resource, opens a door, answers the phone, and does whatever it takes to support our community.

We may all have different missions, but we are so much better at this when we do it together. 💙

💙 A little update from our Walker’s Point family

Sometimes doing the work means slowing down for a moment to make sure we’re doing it right.

At this time, we are temporarily pausing overnight shelter stays while we train and build up a whole new shelter team. We know that our shelter is a lifeline for young people in our community, and we don’t take this pause lightly.

We also know that transitions can be hard, and we are incredibly grateful for your patience, understanding, and continued support while we work through this.

The good news is that Walker’s Point is still here. 💙

📞 Our 24-hour shelter hotline is available at 414-647-8200
🚪 Our drop-in services are still available
🏠 Our housing and case management programs are accepting referrals
💙 Our therapy services are accepting referrals

We’re putting in the work behind the scenes — training, supporting, and preparing our team so that when we reopen for shelter stays, we can continue providing the safe, welcoming, trauma-informed care our youth deserve.

We’re looking forward to getting back to our normal rhythm soon. Until then, thank you for sticking with us, believing in our mission, and helping us make sure vulnerable youth in Milwaukee know that they matter, they are welcome, and they are not alone. 💙

🍸💜 What a night! 💜🍸

A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us at the beautiful Pfister Hotel for our Blutender event! We are incredibly grateful to everyone who spent their evening celebrating the work we do to support vulnerable youth in our community. Your presence, your generosity, and your belief in our mission mean so much to us.

And we had the honor of a double celebration! 🎉 Our amazing grant writer, Amalia, celebrated her birthday with us — and brought all of her friends along for the fun! Amalia, thank you for choosing to celebrate your life, your birthday, and the work you pour your heart into with Walker’s Point. We hope you felt just how appreciated you are! ❤️

We also finally settled one of the age-old questions:

🏠 Which is more important — shelter or housing?

The answer is: BOTH.

Shelter and housing support young people at different points in their lives and in different circumstances. Both are essential. Both change lives. And both deserve our support.

Last night’s official Blutender answer, however? SHELTER! 🥳

Congratulations to our incredible Shelter Team for raising the most! We are so proud of the work you do every single day to make sure vulnerable youth have a safe place to land when they need it most.

And finally, a very special shoutout to our famous staff bartenders! 🍹👏

By day, these incredible people dedicate their lives to supporting youth. By night, they became creative mixologists, crafting specialized drinks while telling our guests about the programs they work in and why their work matters.

They may have been behind the bar last night, but their hearts are always with the youth we serve. 💜

Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us, laughed with us, raised a glass with us, and supported our mission. We couldn’t do this work without you.

Cheers to another night of celebrating youth, community, and the people who make both possible! 🥂
