Opening doors for youth experiencing homelessness

Onward Eden Prairie

Onward Eden Prairie became a 501(c)3 non-profit in August, 2018. Since October 2018 4 precariously housed young adults have lived in the house receiving the support of a social worker. Immanuel’s Kim Rathjen, Coordinator of Inreach & Outreach, works with a community-wide board, Onward Eden Prairie, which rents an Immanuel owned house.

  • Providing housing and support to 4 young adults in Eden Prairie 
  • Benevolence giving in 2020: $3000 (through 3rd quarter)

Immanuel's vision to help provide safe places for youth experiencing homelessness in the south-west metro became financially possible through:

  • an Immanuel member's donated funds ($214,000) to help purchase a house for this project, and
  • Immanuel’s Opening Doors campaign providing $200,000 ($86K was used to supplement the purchase of a house and $114K was used as one-time seed money).

You can read the details of Onward Eden Prairie and Immanuel story.
