Normandale Hylands UMC works with many community partners to provide needed services: food, social services, household goods and more. This is an update from Simpson Shelter, that provides a range of services to support people experiencing homelessness.

Simpson Shelter is beginning to increase capacity to pre-pandemic levels. They also are starting to welcome back visitors and groups to provide meals.
