GTMD 2025 - Building Brighter Futures Together

Right now in our local communities, one out of every three households aren't able to make ends meet. Without the resources to afford basic necessities, children in these households are struggling to access health, education, and financial stability, the building blocks for a strong future. 

Addressing these families' needs and lifting up youth takes more than one solution. Through programs and partnerships across our communities, we are working to meet the needs of these youth. This means addressing health by providing youth with lifesaving training through our babysitting initiative, funding programs focused on addressing education throughout a child's life, improving the financial stability of families by saving them hundreds each year on essential school supplies, and so much more. For over 100 years, we have existed to strengthen our communities and lift up youth right here in the northland.  

With the rising costs of living, families in our communities are seeing an even greater need for services. As we step up to meet these increasing needs at no cost to these families, we're asking for your help. Thanks to the generous support of the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation, every dollar donated this Give the Max Day will be matched until we reach our goal of $5,000.
