2025 at a Glance
And in 2025, 2,367 volunteers gave more than 139,000 hours to support neighbors across Central Minnesota.
What We Do
A family facing housing instability may also struggle to put food on the table, while mental health challenges can make it even harder to find stability. By bringing food access, housing, and mental health services together through our pillars of service, we can meet people where they are.
Food Access helps ensure our neighbors across Central Minnesota have reliable access to nutritious food and everyday essentials.
Housing provides safe, stable housing and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, housing instability, or other barriers to independent living.
Mental Health provides compassionate counseling and behavioral health services that help children, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges.
Neighbor Stories
The number one thing they do there is treat you with dignity and respect. It feels like grocery shopping. It doesn’t feel like you’re there for help.
Give
