Metro Hope Ministries

What Metro Hope Ministries does

Metro Hope Ministries is a nonprofit religious organization founded in 1926 and headquartered at 2739 Cedar Ave S, Minneapolis, Minnesota. It operates two residential facilities in the Twin Cities metro area providing Christ-centered drug and alcohol recovery programs of 5-12 months duration. The organization serves three distinct resident populations through separate programs: the Mother's with Children Program (which keeps families together during recovery), the Women's Program, and the Men's Program. There is no requirement for residents to be Christian upon entry or graduation. The organization reports serving more than 100 residents at a time with a staff of 11-50, and now accepts intakes nationwide.

The organization's revenue model is entirely donation-based. All Christ-centered programming and children's care is funded by private donations; adult residents' room and board is partially covered by government aid. Donor engagement mechanisms include a Sponsor a Child program at $40/month, family sponsorship programs, the Target Community Gift Registry partnership, annual galas (Spring Soirée, Fall Gala), and grassroots outreach via church visits, speaking engagements, and community events. The organization holds GuideStar Platinum Seal and ECFA accreditation, with IRS Form 990 filings available for 2019-2025. Celebrating its centennial in 2025/2026, Metro Hope positions itself as a restorative recovery ministry serving "the entire family in a grace-filled environment."
