Open Arms

Open Arms recently moved as of March 1st. Because of the new environment, and the constant need for new volunteers, Open Arms will set up a tour of the new building. To organize a tour, go to www.openarmsmn.org for the contact information. This is a great website sharing lots of ways to get involved, ranging from raffle tickets towards a brand new 2010 Toyota Prius (proceeds will go towards helping their non-profit organization) to upcoming bicycle rides to support breast cancer. It is a struggle, especially in this economic crisis, to keep organizations running that depend so much on the community. If you want to talk on the phone with an employee there about what you can do to help, contact them at 612-872-1152.
