Ways to Give

Every $1.50 provides 3 meals.

Get a group of friends together and spend an evening making a difference in your community.  Or plan an event with your colleagues from work. Below are a few suggestions to get you started.  Hosting an event includes all planning and execution.

Ideas for your fund drive:

  • Garage Sale
  • Collect your loose change at the end of the day for one month.
  • Host a benefit event with proceeds going to House of Charity.  This is a perfect opportunity for corporate and community groups looking for a way to get involved.
  • Skip one latte a day or week and donate the funds
  • Birthday or Anniversary – ask that in lieu of gifts, make a donation in your honor
  • Host a wine and cheese party in your home and have someone from House of Charity come and share our story. Let each guest make a donation of their choice.
  • Challenge your friends to match our gift.

To get started hosting an event for House of Charity, please contact our Volunteer Director, Mike Bennett, by calling 612-436-2050 or emailing him.

These are some examples of how your donation will provide hope and home:

  • $25 provides toiletries for those using our public shower
  • $50 provides two hours of case management to our clients
  • $150 sponsors one public lunch for approximately 250 guests at our Food Centre
  • $500 provides ink, paper, and other supplies for the computer center
  • $1,000 provides two months of transitional housing and meals for one client
  • $2,500 helps furnish a client’s room with a bed, chest of drawers, and wardrobes

Please join us as a partner in creating opportunities for positive change in individual lives. By making a financial contribution today, your gift will immediately begin working to make a difference in the lives of the people we serve. It may help feed the hungry, provide shelter for homeless men and women, aid in an individual’s quest to achieve sobriety, or provide educational assistance to help others develop a new circle of support for themselves in a time of transition.

To make an online gift of any amount, simply follow the instructions below and click donate.  You will be directed to enter your credit card information or PayPal account if you have one.

Or you can send check or cash to House of Charity  510 S. Eighth Street, Minneapolis, MN  55404. A receipt will be sent to you. If you have any questions, please contact House of Charity directly.
