In the Community
Being of the community means building relationships within the community.
Relationships in the community are fostered and enhanced by volunteering, working and participating at all levels in community life.
A few examples of our community relationships are:
Duluth Community Garden Program
This program creates and uses an accessible garden space for people with a variety of physical, sensory, and intellectual disabilities to promote healthy eating, nutrition, physical activity and community involved support for healthy food access for unhoused individuals. The individuals participate in planning, planting, harvesting, and distributing food to the food bank. It also advances self-advocacy through participation in the design and build of accessible gardens.
Union Gospel Mission
Union Gospel Mission is a charitable organization dedicated to serving Northland neighbors in need!
CHUM Duluth
CHUM supported by 42 faith-based communities, is Duluth’s primary “safety net” for the most vulnerable and impoverished people, especially those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Duluth, MN. CHUM is currently working to increase capacity to help people address issues of severe mental illness and Substance Use Disorder. Udac persons served volunteer at CHUM, where they play a vital role in supporting community programs aimed at addressing homelessness and mental health challenges. Their active participation not only provides essential services to those in need but also strengthens community bonds and fosters a sense of belonging. Through their dedication, UDAC persons served exemplify the spirit of community engagement and make a positive impact on the lives of many.
