BEST LOCAL CHARITY
Urban Ministry Center
Staff Pick
Just a few blocks from the Square Uptown, the Urban Ministry Center is a vibrant, vigorous complex of buildings, programs and committed people, all focused on helping the homeless. And by “helping,” we don’t just mean a sandwich and a cot. The entire space is an urban oasis with, yes, a daily soup kitchen, but also a laundry, mail service, counselors, art classes, sculpture, an organic garden, and most of all, a welcoming, helpful spirit. They’ve taken on more and more clients in the current Great Recession without batting an eye. Help ‘em out if you can.
