                  The Camden Promise

                  Surrounded by neighbors - losing homes, jobs and income; issues of poverty, drug and alcohol abuse, gangs, violence - three congregations in the Lind-Bohanon neighborhood of the Camden Community of Minneapolis joined together to begin addressing these issues: one at a time, one person at a time. This venture is called The Camden Promise.


                  Our Response

                  Our goal is to provide for those in need in the Camden Community of Minneapolis. We are a "Client Choice" Food Shelf which allows clients to choose what food they want based on a point value system. We are an after-school tutoring program.  We are a nightly meal.  We are a Sunday morning breakfast and bag of groceries.  We are a hot dog BBQ, a block party, and a summer lunch program.

                  The Results

                  The impact this small but determined group is having on their community is noticeable after just a couple years. The Camden Promise is changing perceptions of what it means to be part of a community that provides safe places for kids to hang out, where neighbors know one another, where there can be food on the table. They are helping their neighbors relearn what it means to be a community where there is hope and a future.
