Timberwolves and U.S. Bank Provide New Basketball Court in Hibbing

We recently partnered with the Minnesota Timberwolves and U.S. Bank to install a new basketball court in Bennett Park in Hibbing.  Hibbing received the refurbished court as part of the Timberwolves “Our Courts. Our Future” program presented by U.S. Bank and was selected by a community vote to receive the court.  As part of this project, Hibbing High School Basketball Coach and Minnesota basketball legend Joel McDonald recruited 25 volunteers for the project, and we were thrilled to have his enthusiastic support.

Thanks to the Timberwolves, U.S. Bank, and our many partners who came together to make this project a success, including Pete Hyduke and the Hibbing Parks and Rec Department, Seppi Bros., and Coach Joel McDonald and the Hibbing Youth Basketball Program.  Stay tuned to learn about our next basketball court project with the Timberwolves and U.S. Bank!

Bike & Build Volunteers Help a Twin Cities Homeowner

This month, we hosted the Bike & Build team for a day of hard work and fun.  The team is riding from New Hampshire to Seattle, and they stopped in the Twin Cities to volunteer at Karen’s home in Columbia Heights.  They spent the day replacing some siding and facia, painting the house and garage, and building new front and back steps.  Karen was at risk of losing her homeowners insurance because of repairs she could not afford.  With the hard work of Bike & Build and other community partners, Karen will be able to keep her insurance and remain in her home.

After wrapping up their work in the Twin Cities, the Bike & Build headed to Fargo-Moorehead to paint two homes for homeowners in need in partnership with Rebuilding Together Fargo – Moorhead.

Catholic Heart Workcamp Makes a Difference

Last week, we partnered with youth from the Catholic Heart Workcamp to help several homeowners in need in the Twin Cities.  Volunteers completed a variety of tasks, including ramp maintenance, yard work, moving a ramp, and more.  Thanks to Catholic Heart Workcamp for your hard work!
