Minneapolis and St. Paul, collectively referred to as the Twin Cities, are best known for their rich natural environment.  It is home to a large immigrant refugee population.  The Twin Cities area is host to the largest "Among" community in the world outside of Asia and the largest Somali population in the United States, most of whom are immigrant refugees.  Like many other metropolitan areas, concentrated pockets of the Twin Cities area continue to experience problems with poverty, unemployment, and underemployment. Working with the numerous social service agencies located throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul, CHWC Twin Cities will strive to serve these needy individuals of the Twin Cities metro and suburban area through housing rehabilitation and beautification, service in soup kitchens and food shelves, and ministry in social service agencies.
