Do you have a group that would like to do some deep cleaning at a community center that serves homeless folks? If so, we have an opportunity for you!
Peace House Community (PHC) is a small community center that hosts about 150 members a day. Most of our folks are homeless or formerly homeless. Due to limited staff hours and the busyness of the building, we don't have time to do deep cleaning on a regular basis. We'd love to have a group of five to 10 people come in on a weekend to powerwash the floor, scrub and/or touch up the paint on the walls, and complete other cosmetic tasks. We'd like to have one member of the group visit the building to see what they will be doing and help with the planning.
The building is small (about 2,500 square feet). PHC hosts about 150 members a day, providing a light breakfast, a hot lunch, and services such as haircuts, hand massages, manicures, foot care, bicycle repair, a writers group, and more. We partner with housing, mental health, and physical health organizations to provide direct services to our members. Additionally, other organizations use the building to serve dinners and provide other services.

Mission Statement
Peace House Community (PHC) is a gathering place to belong for economically challenged and marginalized adults in the Twin Cities that is open from 9:30a-2:30p. PHC achieves its mission by offering services that: nourish the community members’ bodies; nourish our community members’ souls; and enrich the lives of our visitors, volunteers and students.
Description
Peace House Community is a small community center/day center serving the Ventura Village neighborhood in south Minneapolis Monday-Friday from 9:30a-2:30p. Our community members live in the neighborhood and face economic instability, housing uncertainty, social isolation, stigmatization, and similar daily challenges. PHC counters these conditions by providing a safe, welcoming, and affirming community that gets to know its members as individuals.
PHC gives its community members the same experience that most people feel when they hang out in a friend's living room. There is always hot coffee, snacks and a hot lunch. There is no pressure, no need to justify oneself, no invasive questions. Coming to PHC means experiencing acceptance and a respite from the chaos of life on the streets.
PHC serves over 18,000 meals a year and provides a variety of services each day including bicycle repair, hand massages, haircuts, clothes mending and more. Most importantly, we provide a space for volunteers and community members to meet, establish relationships and share a common humanity.
