Need Assistance?

St. Paul does not currently have the resources to directly help community members with benevolence calls. Instead, our offerings go to community organizations that pool resources and can better help people. If you are in need of rent assistance, grocery or gas money, seeking a job, or anything else, please call United Way's helpline at 211.  (Learn more at their website: https://unitedwayofleecounty.org/2-1-1/)

Calling 211 is your best bet at receiving aid!
