Tasks Unlimited, Inc.

Tasks Unlimited provides housing, employment, and mental health services for people with serious and persistent mental illness. 

Since our founding in 1970, we have been dedicated to providing resources that support people with mental illness in gaining stability and living full and independent lives. Our model is comprehensive and based on principles of interdependence, community and the value of meaningful work.

As we continue to feel the impact of the pandemic, these principles remind us of what is most important and how we best navigate these extraordinary times. Just as we have been for the last 51 years, we are here for our clients - over 600 served in 2020 - providing essential services in all programs.

Housing: Our 23 “lodges” are affordable homes across the Twin Cities where residents support each other in a shared living setting, with limited assistance from staff.

Employment: We provide a range of job training, placement and long-term supported employment to support our clients’ ability to work. While our janitorial and mailroom service contracts continue providing cleaning and sanitizing services to federal and county agencies, we are staying safe through it all. 

Recovery support: We help with the daily challenges of living with mental illness through providing mental health support, case management, and wellness activities.

Outreach to those experiencing homelessness: Most recently, we have expanded our services for those experiencing homelessness through opening a drop-in center in northeast Minneapolis and partnering with the Envision Community to develop a new, innovative housing model based on the principles of community and interdependence that have guided us for over 50 years.

Will you join us in helping people with serious and persistent mental illness work and thrive? 

From helping them to find community and peer support to providing housing and supported employment opportunities - we are here to help. 

And you can help too by supporting us in one of three ways. 

Donate today - using the DONATE button above - and your gift will be used to help us sustain our core mission. We'll use your gift where most needed. 

Or donate to one of the fundraisers below. We have two funds most in need of your support this year: 

Northeast Outreach & Opportunity Center: This fund helps us sustain and grow our drop-in center services to adults experiencing or at risk of homelessness, providing mental health supports, employment resources, housing stabilization services, a warm meal, and other basic needs. 

Client Emergency Needs Fund: This fund has proved essential during the COVID-19 pandemic - it provides critical assistance for clients who are in financial need and is a safety net that ensures help is there when needed as injuries, health issues, and numerous other factors continue to affect our client’s ability to work. 

Whether you donate today, tomorrow, or simply share our message with someone - thank you. Your kindness and support during these times has not gone unnoticed. We would not be able to do what we do without your support and generosity. Thank you.
