Martha “Mama Freeman” has been serving Milwaukee’s Garden Home Community since 1969. She runs Alpha Omega Ministries which serves ANYONE in need. Alpha Omega, located at 4389 N 27th St, provides food, clothing, emotional support, and church services. Mama Freeman collects food from local resturaunts and accepts donations to stock the food and clothing pantries. She has streets named after her. I personally have witnessed her loving and helping drug addicts, prostitutes, homeless people and people down on their luck.

The Legacy of Mama Freeman

The building was inspected by The City of Milwaukee and has been issued multiple code violations that need to be addressed immediately.

To save the building she needs help from the community:
#1 – Professional contractors to work pro bono or at reduced rate
#2 – Supplies and materials for projects
#3 – Financial support

This woman and building have impacted many lives, please help by putting this story out there.

Thank you,

Valerie Van Weelden
