MILWAUKEE – Bridging a gap and helping those in need of shelter, a Milwaukee church is opening up its doors for the homeless each Sunday this winter.
Many shelters close for part of the day. Pastor Janice Bond is opening her church to give people a warm place to go this winter.
“We just have a blessed time in the Lord,” Bond said.

At 15th and Wright, she is following in her father’s footsteps.
The pews are usually filled with a lot of familiar faces, but Pastor Bond is hoping that changes. She’s started what’s called “Survival Sundays,” inviting those in need of shelter into the church.
“I want to be a light to the city,” Bond said. “I love helping people in any way that I can.”
This past Sunday was the kick-off. Two dozen people showed up for food, prayer and warmth from 8:30 A.M. until the early evening.
Church leaders learned Sundays have some of the greatest needs.
“We’re trying to bridge that gap and open that door and say come on in, have a good time,” Pastor Montrell Taylor said. “We’re really just here to do ministry and to serve the needs of the people.”
Pastor Bond wants to help as many as she can, hopeful her mission will spread.

“We need more love in Milwaukee, and we need to care more about one another,” she said.
Survival Sundays will continue through the winter.
Bond said depending on the need and the weather, they may expand to more days of the week.
Those interested in donating can do so through Pastor Bond at 414-499-5028.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
