It also provides aftercare and family services, as well as an addiction recovery specific to Indigenous peoples. Simon House has a mission to help men achieve long-term recovery from addiction and all its effects.”

That food is then distributed through our network of member agencies, including food shelves, soup kitchens, group homes and shelters.” “serves a 14 county service area in Southeast Minnesota and Western Wisconsin”

International

If those aren’t in your local currency, or are too expensive due to the exchange rate / purchasing power parity, or high power cost, please consider giving to your local homeless shelter, food bank, or another charity of your choosing.

Cryptocurrency — donate it to charity

I don’t hold any cryptocurrency, instead please consider giving it to one of these charities. Internet Archive, Feeding America, Movember Canada, or The Unison Fund.
