Hope Avenue is more than a meal provider — it’s a community built on love and respect. Founded by Pastor Becky and sustained by volunteers, the program treats every guest as a person of dignity and worth. Many staff members once walked the same road as our guests, giving them unique empathy and understanding.
What began with a handful of volunteers and a few donated meals has grown into a consistent, trusted refuge — a place where guests are known by name, served with respect, and met with genuine care.
At Hope Avenue, a hot meal is just the beginning. We meet people where they are — with compassion, consistency, and the belief that everyone deserves to be seen and cared for.

At Hope Avenue, we believe that the collective power of compassion and community can create lasting change. Your support—whether through a gift, your time, or your partnership—enables us to continue our mission of providing fulfillment and hope to our neighbors in North Minneapolis.
Your financial gifts are the lifeblood of our mission, directly funding hot meals, facility utilities, and essential guest services.
Help our neighbors stay warm and safe. We are always in need of high-quality winter essentials—especially durable boots, insulated gloves, and heavy socks—to distribute directly to those in our community.
We welcome local businesses to partner with us through grants, sponsorships, or employee service days that impact our community.
From serving meals to organizing our clothing closet, our volunteers are the heart and hands of everything we do at Hope Avenue.
