Simpson Housing Services began demolition of the Simpson United Methodist Church building in Minneapolis’ Whittier neighborhood on October 9. The agency plans to rebuild a new shelter and housing facility on the site.

Nur-D invites you to rock out at Music 4 Shelter. “I love to play a show where everybody is rocking out for a good cause,” he says.

Our Music 4 Shelter concert benefit is one month from today! Rock out with The Suburbs, Lady Midnight, Nur-D, and DJ Sophia Eris. All proceeds support Simpson’s shelter and housing programs. 

We are thrilled to announce that Simpson’s Board President has been named one of Twin Cities Business Magazine’s 2023 Notable Nonprofit Board Members!

It’s time to get ready for school! Simpson annually partners with families in our supportive housing programs through the Tools for School fundraiser to equip students of all ages for educational success. Tools for School provides learners with the supplies and learning tools they need to do their best work, from calculators to internet access to culturally specific resources.

With our budget year ending and some exciting changes ahead, we ask you to consider making a financial gift by June 30 to support Simpson. All donations up to $25,000 will be matched by the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation.

Artist Sandy Tuzinksi first began contributing to Art 4 Shelter in 2015. She heard about the event from co-founder Megan Rye during a Minnesota Watercolor Society meeting. After learning how donating artwork would help benefit Simpson Housing Services, Sandy and her sister, Pat Swanson, quickly felt invested in the cause and were excited to contribute.

Sandy and her sister encourage other artists to get involved with Simpson Housing Services’ mission of providing shelter. “Art 4 Shelter gives artists an opportunity to learn how to help others in a very unique way.

When Thomas Roark he heard about Art 4 Shelter from another artist at a life drawing co-op, he resonated with the fundraiser’s direct impact on people experiencing and transitioning out of homelessness. Contributing to A4S is a way for Thomas to work toward housing justice for the homeless.
