Support families emerging from homelessness.

A Fresh Start serves those emerging from homelessness in Southern Minnesota. We provide household items and furniture at no cost to the client, and we deliver to the client whenever possible. To receive this service, clients must have been homeless within the last ninety days and be referred by a partner organization that is helping them. Although we rely on donations of items for the majority of what we give to clients, we do rely on financial donations to purchase about 20% of items given to clients and to support our other operational costs.

A Fresh Start acts as a disruptor to the impact of financial insecurity and homelessness by providing essentials for successful daily living through a process involving respect and kindness.
