Gifts That Pay You Income
Do you want to support Chum but worry about having enough income for yourself and your loved ones? Life-income gifts can provide donors with an income stream, significant tax savings, and the satisfaction of supplying Chum with vital long-term resources. Read more

Gifts from Retirement Plans
You may consider using retirement-plan benefits to make a significant gift that will support Chum. Because of the estate- and income-tax treatment of retirement-plan benefits, the cost of your gift to your estate and heirs is often relatively small. Read more

Estate Note
You may make a charitable gift to Chum after your lifetime without revising your current will or estate plans. An estate note is an irrevocable pledge or debt against the donor's estate. Read more

Gifts of Assets
The simplest way to support Chum is through cash gifts. But creative gifts of assets can include stocks, bonds, and property (real estate and personal property such as artwork). These can not only provide you with charitable deductions, but can also offer additional tax savings. Read more

About Us

Chum is “People of faith working together to provide basic necessities, foster stable lives, and organize for a just and compassionate community.” We provide emergency shelter, food and street outreach throughout Duluth.

Chum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit human services agency in Duluth, MN sponsored and governed by an interfaith coalition of 44 faith communities. Chum was founded in 1973 when 10 churches located in Duluth’s Central Hillside neighborhood pooled their resources to meet the needs of the neighborhood’s many low-income residents more effectively. Chum now offers emergency food, shelter, advocacy, support, and outreach throughout Duluth.

Chum is Duluth’s primary safety-net organization where people who are homeless or who have very low incomes can come for assistance and a welcoming, safe community. Chum operates Duluth’s largest food shelf and provides emergency shelter and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. We help people find housing and employment, access public benefits, and receive basic medical care. At Chum’s Drop-In Center (day shelter) people can pick up mail (both physical and e-mail), do their laundry, have a hot meal, socialize over games or conversations, and perhaps most importantly, find a warm and welcoming community where they can be safe, heard, and respected.

Chum is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
