DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT TODAY! 

THANKS TO OUR FRIENDS AT PORSCHE MINNEAPOLIS & ST. PAUL, THE FIRST $15,000 IN GIFTS THIS NOVEMBER WILL BE MATCHED! 

Your gift helps families experiencing homelessness.  

As the largest family shelter in Minneapolis, People Serving People depends on your support to end family homelessness. There are nights when all of our 99 rooms are full with parents and children. Over 300 people, including 200 children, call People Serving People home every day.  

Your gift helps families thrive.  

Thanks to the support of our community, People Serving People is more than just a shelter. Families deserve access to the resources they need to build a stable life. That's why we offer advocacy, financial education, employment assistance, support groups, education, and homelessness prevention. Families identify their own goals and work hard for their children. Your gift helps make these vital services possible.  

Your gift helps families envision bright futures for their children.  

Two-thirds of our guests are children. The average age of children staying with us is six years old. We are there to provide support and structure through a trauma-informed lens. Whether it’s part of our infant and toddler care, afterschool programs, or summer activities, children have a place to express their emotions and grow into amazing human beings.  

Your gift helps families and our community work for change. 

We envision a society where the racist and sexist roots of homelessness are lifted. Homelessness does not happen in a vacuum. Homelessness is not the product of unfortunate coincidences. Homelessness results from widespread inequity. Our work extends beyond our shelter walls – we are fierce advocates for real change and are fortunate to have you by our side.  

Your gift helps families today build a better tomorrow.
