Wilder Center for Social Healing

Located in the Frogtown neighborhood of Saint Paul, Minnesota, the Wilder Center for Social Healing offers a place for Southeast Asian adults to gather for support, fellowship, shared meals and healing—all of which are important for people who immigrate to or seek refuge or asylum in the U.S., and who are trying to adjust to a new way of living. Each person who comes to the Center is welcomed as family and valued as an integral part of our community. The Center for Social Healing's space is in a bright, open and clean facility with a commercial kitchen, meeting/gathering spaces, gardens and a picnic area.
