NUMAS Haus - Open House!
Please share the news!! 🧡 You are invited to the exciting launch of our Hope Grows NUMAS Haus Capital campaign. We will be celebrating and sharing information about our expansion plans, at our open house, on October 9th from 11 am to 1 pm or 4 pm to 7 pm at 1 N Broadway Street. There will be light refreshments, and a chance to see the phases of growth and learn how you can support this vital cause.
More about the campaign and cause: Due to the increasing number of homeless women and children in need, we are undertaking an expansion project to better serve our communities in Brown County. The First United Methodist Church of New Ulm has generously donated a church building to help us expand our shelter. This incredible contribution will significantly boost our capacity to provide shelter and essential services to those in need.
The planned expansion will more than double our current housing capacity and offer additional play and community space, allowing for the strategic growth of the organization. This expansion will reduce the operating cost per family by having more rooms available. As we embark upon this next step, we are writing to ask for your financial support to carry out the renovations.
In 2013, the New Ulm Ministerial Association learned there were no shelters in the Brown County area and there were over 40 children in the school districts without a permanent address. The pastors, in collaboration with several churches and community champions, secured a home offered by the First United Methodist Church. NUMAS Haus was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2014 and opened its doors in 2016, with the first family moving in within 48 hours.
NUMAS Haus provides shelter and support services to homeless women and their children primarily in the Brown County, Minnesota area. The shelter is a home with a welcoming environment that can host up to three families at a time. During their stay, residents participate in a 90-day program that connects families to education, resources, employment, mental health services, and housing. After residents transition into their own housing, they continue case management services for up to two years to support maintaining long-term housing stability and independent living.
Please join us in celebrating the launch of this vital project, the inauguration of our Capital campaign, and please consider making a donation to support the expansion of NUMAS Haus. Together, we can provide hope and make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve. Thank you for your continued support and generosity. If you have any questions or would like more information about our expansion project, please do not hesitate to contact us.
