New Mount Olive Pentecostal Power Church

The 53206 REACH Initiative is a volunteer helps organization that has its foundation from the Helping Hands charitable ministry of the New Mt Olive Pentecostal Power Church. The Helping Hands ministry has served the surrounding community on many levels, especially concerning hunger and crisis relief.

Fostered by the awareness of area need through the "New Indicators of Neighborhood Need in Zipcode 53206" UW-Milwaukee report; it was determined that a more intense focus was necessary to reach out to this poverty stricken locale of North-side Milwaukee. Hence the birth of the 53206 REACH Initiative. 

New Mt Olive Pentecostal Power Church has been in existence since 1954 and experienced a devastating fire in 1996. Has existed in its present location since March 1997. A transition to new ministry leadership evolved in 2006 and birthed the present "Helping Hands" outreach. The initial effort of the Helping Hands ministry was begun by a dearly beloved saint, Mother Henrietta Tyler. The next administrator was Ethel M. McCroy who served with a heart of compassion. Candace Aikens is the present administrator of the recent developed 53206 REACH Initiative program; with the assistance of Ellelean Childress and Stephanie Sloan.
