The Spread Sunshine Gang provides simple, yet powerful events, projects, and creative opportunities that make it easy for you to share your generosity in our community. Spreading sunshine, kindness, and goodness with people who need it is a gift to everyone!
Although 2020 wasn't at all what we were planning, we have managed to keep going and have spread a TON of sunshine!
This year we've:
-Donated $1500 to local and national social justice organizations with "Chip in for Change!" Homemade chocolate chip cookies were delivered to your doorstep with your financial donation.
-Established a relationship with the McKinley Community in North Minneapolis and donated 100 Fall Family Fun Kits with all the fixings for homemade Chex Mix, Playing cards and Kindness cards
-Donated 100 Summer Family Fun Kits with bubbles, sidewalk chalk, a beach ball, stickers and a DIY bird house

-Hosted our very first "Kindness Crusade" at the Mall of America where teams competed against one another to do the most Random Acts of Kindness in 1 hour

With your Give to the Max Day financial donation, we will be able to continue our mission of sharing GOODNESS with the Twin Cities area. Our goal is $10,000+ dollars. Early giving is underway and our fundraiser goes through 11/30.
No money? No problem! On Give to the Max Day (November 19) head on over to our Facebook page where you will be able to donate your time! We are hoping to raise 500 hours of "Sunshine Time!"
