Roots Wellness Center

Roots Wellness Center (RWC) is a grassroots, immigrant-owned mental health and recovery services agency focused on holistic, culturally rooted, de-westernized wellness supports. We have a dire need to complete the wellness hub and expand our services to address the substantial mental health needs from ICE raids and the federal occupation.

We are fundraising for our bold vision: a Wellness Hub for Healing, Health & Harmony in the Midway neighborhood of St. Paul. The space we're creating is more than just a building; it’s a sanctuary where individuals and families can come together to heal, grow, and thrive. Through collaborative care and community-driven programs, we aim to dismantle barriers to access and promote intergenerational healing for future generations. With the current federal occupation, the need for healing is dire and our goal is to disrupt the trauma pathways from being passed down. 

Every gift matters to Roots Wellness and goes towards the build out of the rest of the hub, where we will offer an expungement clinic, digital resource lab and no-cost financial literacy classes. Every person who makes a gift here is part of our very first cohort of annual community donors- It will take all of us coming together to build out the community hub vision for the long haul. Whether you give $5 or $5,000, the fact that you support a transformative culturally responsive, somatic, holistic model that challenges the mental health industrial complex means so much. We can push for systems change that address the deep disparities with advocacy-driven, unapologetic, grassroots services and programs that are accessible, holistic and see wellness as an act of resistance.
