Offering hope and support while providing basic needs (food, clothing, supplies) and supportive case management to assist families in crisis.
We are currently providing in-person services Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Guests are encouraged to call our intake line (651-762-9124, Monday- Thursday 8 am – 4 pm) for assistance with resources.
ABOUT US
When the congregation of St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church learned that there were homeless families in our neighborhood, we put our faith into action and responded.
The Community Resource Center opened in March 2011. We strive to provide help, hope and healing to our neighbors in need. When someone is faced with a difficult situation or is in crisis, we feel that the church is called to be a place to find not only hope and strength, but also a place for assistance with basic need, including emergency family shelter, rental assistance, food, clothing, basic household items, and more, so that we all have the opportunity to live the life that God has intended for us.
