Guild

Guild empowers Minnesotans living with mental illness and/or experiencing long-term homelessness by helping them build stable, fulfilling lives in their chosen community. We do this through a wide array of services that cater to each client’s unique needs, because we know mental illness looks different for everyone and that all of us are worthy of shelter, connection and stability. 

From mental health crisis services, to street outreach, to housing and employment resources, our holistic approach empowers more than 2,000 Minnesotans annually to overcome challenges and build a better future — for themselves and for their families and loved ones. When you support Guild, you're investing in hope, healing and belonging. 

This November, a donation to Guild goes twice as far to support neighbors like April. 

April struggled with severe mental health challenges before coming to Guild in 2021. She was experiencing audio, visual and tactile hallucinations that made her want to hide from “the monsters” and from her life, and she was also consumed with grief following the death of her mom. She was spending a lot of time in hospitals dealing with major panic attacks. 

Hopelessness eventually took over, and April started to believe there was no point in living anymore. But one of Guild’s case managers helped April realize that wasn’t true. 

Our team helped April access support services like medical, housing and employment coordinators. She learned to manage her own medications. She got her own apartment. She’s even back in school and hopes to someday get a full-time job working in a child care center. And she credits Guild with getting her to a point where she actually had the ability to succeed and strive for more. “Guild let me try,” April told us. “Other places didn't let me try.”

This Give to the Max Day, your gift will go twice as far, thanks to a generous donor who will match donations this month up to $5,000. That means your donation will be doubled to help fellow Minnesotans and their families avoid homelessness, receive mental health care, find employment and create connections that restore hope.
