The New Year is Here at Chum

The new year is here and so are new needs for Chum, so that we can help people experiencing homelessness in Duluth.



This new year has already brought many happy moments and hard ones. Working with people who are experiencing homelessness in Duluth, MN is incredibly rewarding and challenging.


Our shelter, in downtown Duluth, has seen some amazing improvements. The coast guard completely overhauled the space and it now feels brand new. But, we are seeing far more people at the shelter this year. We are at or beyond capacity most nights. And instead of having a bed to sleep in, we can only provide more space on the floor for folks using the shelter.


If you are able to help in any way please visit our giving page to see how you can help. Gifts of time and money are our biggest need right now. Thank you so much for your support!

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.
