Giving is one of the most rewarding pieces of Urban Homeworks’ ministry. Through our many programs and options, Urban Homeworks involves the time, talent and resources of many different people who each have different skills and financial capacity. If you’re interested in supporting the work of Urban Homeworks, read below about some of the creative ways to make a difference for the people and the neighborhoods that we serve.

Urban Homeworks believes that when people come together, we can accomplish something greater than ourselves. The urban community does not exist without the effects and the interaction of the rural community. Each year, Urban Homeworks hosts a grain drive to provide dignified housing for low income families. If you have a farm, consider participating by donating a load to Urban Homeworks.

Go! Northside 5k
This event is an exciting collaboration of community organizations working on the northside of Minneapolis. We have come together to bring a positive event to an area of our city that is in need of the attention. As we collaborate, we hope to make steps toward a renewed sense of community.>>Click here to learn more.

Opportunities to Support Urban Homeworks

Monthly Giving
100 Gives 100—it’s simple. 100 people each giving $100 a month will make ALL of Urban Homeworks rental homes available to families making as little as $10.00 per hour without the need of a government subsidy. We understand that $100 each month can be a stretch, so we encourage you to consider what amount is feasible for you and help stabilize another family. You can help families stay in housing and improve their ability to thrive. >>Click here to join 100 Gives 100 online today. EFT/ACH available.
