Hey EKSR,
Join Twin Cities Rotary EcoClub members and other Rotarians for an exciting opportunity to volunteer with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity (TCHFH) for a Habitat home build in North Minneapolis. They will be working on one of the two homes receiving a solar panel installation next spring with the Rotary EcoClub Habitat Solar Twin Cities district grant project.
Thursday October 12 and Friday October 13 (you can volunteer for one day, or both days)
Volunteer shifts are a full day from 8:30am to 3:30pm
Location is 2727 Fremont Ave N in North Minneapolis
The goal is to have 15 volunteers each day. Sign up now as space is limited. They will be opening registration to all District Rotarians soon. For more information about the volunteer day, see “Information about volunteer day from Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity” below.
Guild is a Minnesota not-for-profit organization that helps people with mental illness and those experiencing chronic homelessness by providing integrated treatment and services. Many of Guild’s clients face barriers to health, including medical conditions, isolation, homelessness, unemployment, poverty, and substance use.
Guild’s Ladder of Hope fundraising event is on Friday, November 3, from noon to 1:00 p.m. at the InterContinental, MSP, Bloomington. Our club is a Ladder of Hope sponsor again this year, and we are invited to attend. Contact Gary Hansen at garyhansen@1stcounsel.com to reserve your spot. For those who are unable to attend, contributions can be made at https://guildservices.org/.
Thanks for considering Guild as one of many worthwhile causes that we as Rotarians can support.
