HOMELESS MKE
Stories by Jonnie Guernsey
Every week, I go to the St. Ben’s Meal Program on 10th and State Street in downtown Milwaukee.
I grab a tray, sit down at a table, and eat with the guests. The stories below are about the people I meet.

To read the stories in chronological order, please begin with the stories posted toward the end and move 'backward.' Many of the stories have recurring appearances of amazing individuals.
Due to Covid restrictions, I have been unable to consistently connect with the homeless community, and so have not been adding new stories. With vaccinations being delivered to them, I'm eager to see everyone again and gather more stories to share soon.
