Thanks to Fredrikson & Byron!

On July 15th and 16th, we partnered with more than 20 volunteers from Fredrikson & Byron on three projects.  On the first day, volunteers helped paint the exterior of two homes for homeowners in need in Minneapolis and also did some landscaping at one of the homes.  On the second day volunteers gutted the first floor and basement of an REO home located in Columbia Heights.  After this home is renovated, it will be made available for purchase to individuals and families who earn less than 120% of the area median income.  Proceeds from the sale of this home will be invested back into our programs, so we can help preserve affordable homeownership for more homeowners in our community.

Thank you to everyone from Fredrikson & Byron who volunteered to help on these projects!

GLS Helps Mary and Charles in St. Paul

We were thrilled to partner with the awesome volunteers from GLS Companies on June 28th to help Mary in St. Paul! Together, we were able to sheet rock the basement bedroom, repair a landing, repair the sub-floor in kitchen, tear out the kitchen and begin installing a new kitchen, landscape, and paint the garage.

GLS Companies is a full service printer with operations in St. Paul and Brooklyn Park.  Their amazing volunteer teams have been working with us for the last four years. We are proud to have partners like GLS Companies. Thank you to everyone from GLS who volunteered with us to help Mary and Charles live in a safe and healthy home!
