Who We Are
Clare Housing is a Minneapolis-based non-profit agency that provides affordable housing with services to over 300 individuals and families living with HIV/ AIDS. Our residents have often experienced systemic and individual harm and discrimination, so it is our goal to provide them with environments and programs that feel dignifying, welcoming, destigmatizing, supportive, humanizing, and compassionate. This goal is not achievable without the partnership of neighbors and friends from the broader community (such as you!).
The Opportunity
While dining at a restaurant or getting take-out can be a fun treat, there is nothing quite like a home-cooked meal that brings up sweet memories or connects us to familial and cultural heritage. As many have said, it often contains a special ingredient: love!
If you enjoy food and believe in its power to connect (even if you don’t consider yourself a gourmet cook), we invite you to prepare a meal for those in our Community Care Homes! Each home houses 4 residents and is staffed around the clock by 1-2 caregivers. While the caregivers often prepare meals for the house, it’s a relief for them to simply be able to pull something out of the fridge or freezer and heat it up when days get unexpectedly busy.
You can prepare a meal for 4-6 folks at home, drop it off at your convenience, and savor the sweetness of knowing that your meal will provide nutrition, comfort, and wellbeing for your neighbors.
Note: we welcome one-time volunteers for this opportunity, as well as those who can make an ongoing commitment (monthly, weekly, biweekly, etc.)
