Place of Hope Ministries

We are a multi-faceted ministry to Central MN. We serve those experiencing homeless. We assist people to get off the street, to have a warm, safe place to sleep, to get three meals a day plus snacks, and find resources to move forward in their lives. Many of our 20-plus staff have themselves experienced homelessness and are now giving back--Including Pastor Carol and Pastor Geary, the founders. We began by giving out cups of cold water to those on the street, and now we serve over 100 people a day including families experiencing homelessness and poverty. We have developed many partnerships with other agencies, businesses, churches, civic organizations, and government in the community who help us provide opportunities for hope and support. We do not believe homelessness has to be what defines someone; it is an experience they are passing through. We want to let those in the community know that we serve people, experiencing homelessness, not homeless people. Because we always put people first.
