Healthy food. Proper clothing. Housing stability. This is the ongoing story of PRISM.

PRISM is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1970 by folks who were concerned about local hungry and homeless families.
 What started as a small, informal effort has since evolved into a strong, sustainable organization that is considered a leading provider of basic needs services in the northwest Twin Cities suburbs.

Nearly 50 years later our mission remains the same: to provide social services and connections that empower people in our community to build healthy, stable lives.

Our core values of collaboration, innovation, dignity, and accountability can be seen in all areas of programming – from our Marketplace Food Shelf to our Housing Programs to our Shop for Change Thrift Shop to our Children’s Programs. It is these values that drive our efforts to serve people in a welcoming, strengths-based, individualized manner.

Help us fight hunger and support your local food shelf through the upcoming MN FoodShare March Campaign February 27 - April 7.

We invite you to get involved and attend a showcase at PRISM on Thur, Feb 21st  from 12-1pm to see our new location and to get a closer look at the good work that PRISM is doing to serve the ever growing needs of the community.  Enjoy a light lunch, engagement with PRISM staff, a raffle, and tours of the facility.
