| Stuff the Bus with School Supplies | |
Success in school starts with having the right tools. By providing children school supplies, we give them a running start for school and a hopeful start towards a brighter future.
Help us STUFF THE BUS (drop off school supplies ) on August 5: 2 pm - 6:30 pm and August 6: 10:00 am - 2:00 pm at the Wal-Mart South parking lot. You can also drop off school supplies at the Wicked Moose on August 6: 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm.
Last year, 2,532 students received school supplies. That's an 11.5% increase from the previous year!
This year there are 6,874 eligible students in Olmsted County. Our new goal is to register 3,094 students to receive school supplies. Read More

GIVE. | |
We all have a stake in creating a prosperous, healthy community.
For a building to be stable for the long term, it needs a solid foundation. The same is true in life, and the building blocks for a solid life are a good education, financial stability and good health.
Education: Ensuring children are ready to learn and motivated to stay in school and graduate means contributing citizens for tomorrow.
Income: Many are walking a financial tightrope, as a community we can broaden the tightrope into a path making it less likely people will fall.
Health: Access to healthcare helps strengthen our entire community.
It takes an entire community to make a difference and we need
YOU! |
