This winter has felt tougher and colder than in recent years, and you may be wondering what you can do to help support your unhoused neighbors. We've got some answers:

The biggest thing you can do is suspend judgment by simply asking the person how they are doing and how you can assist. Treat people who are experiencing homelessness as human beings first.

Second, make a donation! Guild's Housing and Homelessness team often needs clothing, backpacks, blankets, sanitary wipes, and food that doesn’t need to be refrigerated. Gift cards for gas stations or grocery stores and bus cards for Metro Transit are also hugely helpful.

3. Provide information and resources about where people can go during business hours and stay for an extended amount of time. For example, Hennepin County has a list of severe cold warming locations that include public libraries and county buildings. Visit hennepin.us/STAYWARM for more info!

Guild’s Story

Guild’s roots go back to the 1970s. In the 70s, Hastings State Hospital closed and The Guild of Catholic Women, a volunteer organization, stepped forward to provide housing for individuals leaving the hospital with no place to go.

In 1990, The Guild of Catholic Women created Guild Incorporated. Guild Incorporated became a separate, not-for-profit organization that continued to provide the services that were originally offered by The Guild of Catholic Women. Guild Incorporated, while working from the history of The Guild of Catholic Women, was no longer affiliated with the volunteer organization that paved the way.

Guild serves Minnesota communities by providing quality, cost-effective services for those living with mental illness or experiencing long-term homelessness. Our services aim to prevent homelessness, unemployment, the use of high-cost emergency room and hospitalization services, and involvement in the criminal justice system. Those outcomes are significant social issues that emerge when individuals with mental illness go without the treatment and services they need to heal and stabilize.​

In 2020, Guild Incorporated became just Guild. Guild maintains the organization’s rich history and appreciation for those that came before while looking forward to a future of innovation, expansion, and quality service provision.
