In our over 35 years of operation, Damiano has become a cornerstone of the Duluth community by providing emergency services to our neighbors in need. Our goal is to be responsive to the needs of low-income, unemployed and working poor people in our community as simply and directly as possible. We operate all our programs based on these values: - Damiano welcomes people in need and, without judgment, serves them in the least intrusive way possible. - Damiano promotes respect for all people in our workplace practices and in our service to individuals. - We strive to meet the needs of the people we serve by getting to know them personally and responding to their changing needs. - Damiano is a good steward of resources. We demonstrate honesty, integrity and accountability in the use of those resources and in all relationships, dealings and transactions.
