ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Leaders from Rochester nonprofits announced today the launch of the Hope at Home Fund.

The mission, launched by the Intercultural Mutual Assistance Association, Family Promise Rochester, Channel One Regional Food Bank and Southeastern Minnesota Interfaith Immigrant Legal Defense, will address families at risk of eviction and hunger after sudden losses of income.
