Community Hosted Fundraising
About Community Hosted Fundraising Events: How You Can Make A Difference
A community hosted fundraising event is a powerful and impactful way to support Open Arms of Minnesota. These events are planned and hosted by businesses, organizations, community groups, schools, or individuals who are passionate about our mission. The proceeds from these events directly benefit Open Arms, helping us continue to provide nourishing and healthy meals to critically ill clients.
By organizing a community hosted fundraising event, you are not only raising crucial funds but also spreading awareness about the essential services we provide. Your efforts help us continue to deliver medically tailored meals to those who need them most, ensuring our clients receive the nutrition and support they require during challenging times.
Whether you’re a business owner, a member of a community group, or an individual looking to make a difference, your support is invaluable. Together, we can nourish and uplift those who need it most.
