New Year, New Floors, and Exciting Programs!

As we step into the new year, our Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) program is starting off on the right foot—literally! Thanks to the Parent Aware: Building Quality Grant, we’ve been able to install brand-new flooring. Both kiddos and teachers alike are thrilled to have a freshly replaced, soft surface that breathes new life into the space. And let’s be honest—a little extra cushion never hurt!


















Community Programming Kicks Off the Year with Connection

January has been a busy and exciting month for our Community Programming team. We hosted multiple Coach Meet and Greet events, inviting tenants to enjoy treats, fun activities, and even prize drawings. These gatherings provided a wonderful opportunity for residents to learn more about the valuable services our family coaches offer. To top it off, a couple of local musicians joined us to share their talents, bringing joy and connection through music.

Sewing Up New Skills in the Youth Program

Our Youth Program has been hard at work building on their sewing skills! After successfully creating quilts in the fall, the young participants are now designing and stitching their very own craft aprons. It’s been a joy to see their enthusiasm grow as they learn to use sewing machines safely under supervision. Their creativity and confidence are truly inspiring!

A Special Congratulations!

Finally, we’re celebrating a very special moment in our community—our Site Services Director welcomed a new baby! We are overjoyed for them and wish their family all the happiness in the world.


With so much happening, we’re looking forward to what the rest of the year will bring. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, thank you for being a part of our vibrant community!

Chum is “People of faith working together to provide basic necessities, foster stable lives, and organize for a just and compassionate community.” We provide emergency shelter, food and street outreach throughout Duluth.

 

Chum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit human services agency in Duluth, MN sponsored and governed by an interfaith coalition of 44 faith communities. Chum was founded in 1973 when 10 churches located in Duluth’s Central Hillside neighborhood pooled their resources to meet the needs of the neighborhood’s many low-income residents more effectively. Chum now offers emergency food, shelter, advocacy, support, and outreach throughout Duluth.

Chum is Duluth’s primary safety-net organization where people who are homeless or who have very low incomes can come for assistance and a welcoming, safe community. Chum operates Duluth’s largest food shelf and provides emergency shelter and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. We help people find housing and employment, access public benefits, and receive basic medical care. At Chum’s Drop-In Center (day shelter) people can pick up mail (both physical and e-mail), do their laundry, have a hot meal, socialize over games or conversations, and perhaps most importantly, find a warm and welcoming community where they can be safe, heard, and respected.
Chum is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
