Despite existing resources, hunger and homelessness persist across the nation. The Kenosha community is no exception.

Did you know that roughly two-thirds of the individuals served at the Shalom Center are children? In fact, of the 3.5 million persons who experience homelessness nationally, 39% are children. 42% of these children are under age 5.

Approximately 700 people volunteer monthly for the Shalom Center's programs.
