Dignity-centered resources for food, housing, and other basic needs

We are a strong, sustainable organization supporting the northwest Twin Cities suburbs’ basic needs.

Our Programs

We are on a mission to build healthy, stable lives across the Twin Cities Metro.

Celebrating Children

All children deserve to celebrate special events - be it a birthday, a winter holiday, or the start of the new school year.

Marketplace Food Shelf

Participants “shop” independently in the Marketplace, choosing personal hygiene items and approximately one week of fresh and packaged groceries that fit their dietary needs and preferences.

Shop for Change Thrift Shop

High-quality, uniquely affordable items for the entire family: clothing and shoes of all sizes, accessories, and small housewares like glasses, dishes, frames, home décor, craft supplies, and seasonal items.

Homelessness Prevention

Helping 250 households annually to avoid eviction. Services include housing-related financial assistance, advocacy, referrals for community resources, and helping households apply for energy assistance programs.
