What ResourceWest does

ResourceWest is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community services organization founded in 1993 and headquartered in Hopkins, Minnesota, with current operations at 13231 Minnetonka Dr, Minnetonka, MN 55305. The organization supports individuals and families across seven West Metro communities (Hopkins, Minnetonka, Excelsior, Deephaven, Greenwood, Shorewood, and Woodland) through a portfolio of free, in-person social services. Core programs include individualized case management, resource navigation to affordable housing, employment, and financial assistance, the Childcare & Academic Assistance Program, and the Children and Youth Programs suite (Back to School supplies, Winter Warm Wear, and Toy Chest). Bilingual staff deliver services in English, Spanish, and Somali, with strategic partnerships with Hopkins Public Schools and Minnetonka Public Schools serving as primary referral and distribution channels. In 2024, ResourceWest served 2,000 families through direct services, an expansion of capacity relative to prior years.

The organization is governed by a 12-member-plus Board of Directors and operates with approximately five key staff under Executive Director Tracie Stanton, who took the role in 2023. Revenue is generated entirely through donations, grants, event fundraising (notably the annual SpringFest gala and the Gathering to Grow community event), in-kind contributions, and uncompensated volunteer labor. There is no proprietary technology platform; operations run on standard nonprofit infrastructure including a website, donor management systems, and case management tracking. A published 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, ongoing board expansion through 2024-2025, and tiered corporate sponsorship structures indicate deliberate organizational scaling. The model is community-led, with services delivered through drop-in case management, scheduled appointments, school-based distribution, and off-site community engagement.

Geographic overlap with ResourceWest and same anti-poverty family-stability mission, but operates at a county-wide scale.
