Food, Clothing, Furniture and Household Items
Mission Outpost guests are invited to receive food one time a month. All guests must register at their first visit. Guests will be renewed every October after that.
Appointments are required. Call 952-898-9311.
Community Resource Center
Volunteers have access to community resources, assisting guests with needs beyond food and clothing. Our volunteers connect guests with employment searches, housing options, applications for medical insurance, county assistance programs and much more. View our Community Resource Center brochure below for commonly suggested services and programs.
No appointment is necessary to meet with the Resource Center; walk in anytime during regular Mission Outpost hours.
Contact the Resource Center: 952-898-9394 or [email protected] for assistance.
