Current Needs

Welcome to Home Sweet Home, a beacon of hope and comfort for our community since 1917. Our doors have been open for over a century, providing love, support, and hope for all who enter. As we continue to serve, we have ongoing needs that we hope you can help us fulfill. Your generosity keeps our mission alive.

All donations can be dropped off from 9am to 5pm at the rear door of Our Bread for Life Food Co-op located at 301 East Oakland Avenue in Bloomington. If the co-op is closed, please drop donations off at the front desk at our shelter at 303. For any questions, please call us at (309) 828-7356.
