Small Sums helps workers experiencing homelessness return to stable employment by providing the tools they need to start new jobs with confidence. The organization supplies essentials such as work clothing, boots, transportation support, and equipment that removes barriers and opens doors to opportunity. With a simple and powerful mission, Small Sums walks alongside individuals who are ready to work but need a practical boost to get started.
If you want to support a local nonprofit creating real pathways to stability, Small Sums welcomes your partnership.
Small Sums began with a clear understanding that many people facing homelessness are also ready and willing to work. What they often lack are the basic items required to show up on day one. The organization stepped in to fill this gap by providing direct support with dignity and respect. Over time, Small Sums has grown into a trusted resource for shelters, case managers, and workers across the Twin Cities, distributing thousands of essential items each year to help individuals secure long term employment.
Small Sums was founded by community members who believed that stable work is a powerful path toward stability. Their vision continues through the staff and volunteers who show up for neighbors every day.
