40th Anniversary Gala Set For Dec. 3

Open Arms Set To Bookend Banner Year With 40th Anniversary Gala: Rooted In Community, Growing In Impact

For 40 years, Open Arms of Minnesota has shown how one act of kindness can transform lives. What began in 1986 with one person preparing meals for neighbors living with HIV/AIDS has grown into a nationally recognized Food Is Medicine leader, providing nourishment, hope, and support to thousands of Minnesotans facing critical illness each year.

Date: Thursday, December 3rd, 2026
Time: 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Location: Metropolitan Ballroom and Clubroom

Join us on December 3, 2026, during World AIDS Week, for our 40th Anniversary Gala: Rooted in Community; Growing in Impact, as we celebrate the people, partnerships, and purpose that have shaped Open Arms for four decades. Enjoy an unforgettable evening of dinner, cocktails, inspiring stories, and the premiere of a special anniversary film honoring our past and future.

Together, we’ll celebrate a community that believes no one should face serious illness alone—and ensure the Open Arms table continues to grow for generations to come.
