Open Arms of Minnesota

Open Arms has NEW merch available NOW!

Open Arms has BRAND NEW swag for purchase on our website and in our building! From fresh t-shirts and cute tanks to snazzy hats and cool bandannas, now you can update your wardrobe and support your favorite local nonprofit organization at the same time! All of the 2020 merch is newly designed by Open Arms’ longtime graphic designer Nan Hildebrandt. In total, we have three t-shirt designs, two tanks, two hats, and bandanas.

Purchasing Open Arms’ swag is a great way to support the medically tailored meals that we deliver to our clients living with life-threatening illnesses. It is also an opportunity to share your Open Arms story with your friends and family. Whether you’re a client, volunteer or supporter, wearing our swag shows your support not only for our organization, but also for our food is medicine philosophy!

Open Arms’ 2020 swag can be purchased either in our building or at our online marketplace. We have limited stock available for each product, so place an order for your favorite design quickly to ensure your size doesn’t sell out!

A note to volunteers: our hats and bandanas can now be worn in the kitchen instead of hairnets. Enjoy a more fashionable look while helping us prepare our medically tailored meals and reduce the waste from the disposable hairnets. Double the awesome in these new products!
