Supporting Those Who Serve
The House of Shields is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was founded in 2008. The House of Shields provides FREE lodging to Police Officers (active or retired) and members of their immediate family. We are based in Rochester, MN which is home to Mayo Clinic, the best rated hospital in the country. Unfortunately, our law enforcement families aren't immune to medical tragedies that require the best care possible. We can't fix their medical concerns but we can try to alleviate some of the their financial burden. House of Shields is run by volunteers and funded by donations.

"I reached out to Rochester house of shields as my wife was having surgery for stage 4 ovarian cancer. It brings tears to my eyes every time I think of how my boys took care of things. What a wonderful organization to contribute too. God bless you for all that you do."

"Feeling pretty good today, I have to thank the House of Shields that is run by the Rochester Police Department for taking care of our lodging! This is a program that provides housing for police officers, current and retired, and their families while being cared for at the Mayo without any charge. A huge thank you to the House of Shields!"
