Help Us Recover & Rebuild: Wellspring Second Chance Center

On May 8th, our community space at 2134 44th Avenue North, Minneapolis, MN 55422, was unexpectedly and tragically impacted by a high-speed police chase involving a hijacked vehicle. The stolen car crashed directly into the side of our building, striking the gas meter and triggering a dangerous gas leak.

Thanks to the swift actions of over 20 brave first responders, the building was evacuated and cleared to ensure everyone’s safety. While we are deeply grateful that no lives were lost, the accident has left our facility unsafe and unusable for the foreseeable future.

Wellspring Second Chance Center is a nonprofit organization that serves as a vital resource in the Minneapolis community. We provide emergency shelter, reentry support, educational programming, and services to help individuals and families get back on their feet. Our space has always been a safe haven, and now, we’re the ones in need of shelter and support.

We are asking for your help to raise $10,000 to cover:

* A new location (first month’s rent & security deposit)

* Moving and setup costs

* Temporary relocation of programming

* Emergency operational needs while we recover

We need our community now more than ever. Your donation, big or small, helps us stay on mission and continue serving those who depend on us. If you’d prefer to contribute in another way (e.g., supplies, temporary space, services), please contact us directly at https://wellspringmn.org.

We’re determined to rebuild. With your support, we’ll come back stronger.

Thank you for standing with us.
