Open Your Heart provided CHUM with funding towards an additional warm shelter space for people experiencing homelessness during sub-zero temperatures and inclement weather.
CHUM was founded in 1973, when 10 churches united to help low-income neighbors with food and basic needs. Today, CHUM is Duluth’s only emergency shelter for the general homeless population, with an 80-bed adult congregate shelter and six apartment units for families with children. Thank you Churches United in Ministry for your incredible service and dedication towards Minnesota’s homeless community!
