Getting the Twin Cities Back to Work

aka Small Sums   |   St. Paul, MN   |  www.smallsums.org

Mission

Small Sums believes gainful employment is a key factor in helping homeless individuals get out of their homeless situation. For many, who have found jobs, there can be obstacles – lack of required work clothes, trade tools, reliable transportation - that stop them from taking the positions. Small Sums' sole purpose is to help them with the specific things that they need to start back to work. Our practical and timely assistance provides them with required work clothes and shoes, trade tools, professional licenses, and bus passes so they have a reliable way to get to work during their first months of employment.  With Small Sums providing these simple things, clients can have a successful start to that new job, allowing them to become more self-sufficient community members again.

General Operations

Small Sums serves homeless individuals who have found employment within the Twin Cities metropolitan area. We provide our clients with work readiness items ,including bus passes, work shoes, work clothes, tools, and license fees.

Population(s) Served
Adults

In 2020 we began a new program to offer our assistance to people in need, specifically those who are one or more months behind on their rent. By widening the universe of who we can help we aim to provide assistance for people before they become homeless. We are currently reaching out to our community partners to share with them our expanded programming guidelines and how we can help more of their clients. In addition, we have compiled a list of potential new community partners that we are excited to connect with and educate them about our program and provide referral services for their clients. Additional funds will allow us to launch the new program and purchase more supplies for people accepting essential worker jobs, like scrubs, reusable masks and non-slip shoes. This will help us to supply essential workers with everything they need to safely and quickly take needed jobs.
