There are several ways to contact MHA, depending on your needs. Review each of the options listed below, and select the one that best fits your situation. No matter which option you choose, please remember that MHA is an all-volunteer organization, run by busy homeschooling families. We don’t have paid staff to answer phones or respond to other inquiries, so your patience is appreciated!
By Mail: Slow but sure. It usually takes us longer to respond to mailed inquiries simply because of the time lag in delivery (both ways) and the additional time it takes to type and print correspondence. Our mailing address is:
MHA
P.O. Box 40486
St. Paul, MN 55104
By Telephone: Telephone calls generally receive a quicker response than U.S. Mail, but not as quick as e-mail. Our Phoneline volunteers often need to relay calls to a Coordinator (for instance, phone calls about advertising would be relayed to the Advertising Coordinator, etc.), which can result in delays. Our phone numbers are:
(612) 288-9662 (Twin City Metro Area)
1-888-346-7622 (outside the Metro Area)
By E-Mail: E-mail generally will get the quickest response from us. We don’t have a “central office” where we sort our messages. Each e-mail is automatically routed to the home of the person who handles that type of request. Please find the section below that most closely fits your inquiry, and send your question to the e-mail address specified in that section. This helps ensure you’ll get a timely response!
