Welcoming & supporting people on their path to stability
The Dignity Center is an interfaith outreach ministry of Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church
The mission of The Dignity Center is to welcome and support people dealing with financial and housing insecurity on their path to stability. Through a committed team of trained volunteers, The Dignity Center works one-on-one with people to build relationships, helps them to set goals toward greater self-sufficiency and stability, and develops and implements a plan to reach those goals.
Our name says it all, and when one walks through our doors they are welcomed with dignity and respect. Hospitality is at the heart of everything we do at The Dignity Center.
The Dignity Center is here to walk with you on your path to stability.
You can expect to meet with one of our advocates, who will first listen and ask a number of pertinent questions to better understand your situation and current concerns.
Your advocate will then work with you to determine what goals you want set to help you achieve greater stability in your life. These goals may have to do with housing, employment, education, physical or mental health, substance abuse, or other matters, but they are YOUR goals. The step-by-step plan you will develop to achieve them is for tailored to you.
It is about the steps that you will take to gain self-sufficiency.
