GIVE WHERE YOU LIVE

Come on out and help us get the Greenway real pretty and ready for all its summer action. This go around, we will be heading back into Uptown! Our work site will be located a bit west of the Walker Library on Hennepin Ave. We will be picking up trash, weeding, mulching, ripping out old shrubs and planting new perennials. As always, let’s put our SGAD stamp on this new area!

Come be part of the SGAD house painting team!

We need a sturdy group of 40 folks to help with painting, repairing, sprucing, and beautifying a house in Minneapolis, MN.

The mission of Hearts & Hammers, Twin Cities, is to provide exterior home improvement assistance for senior and disabled homeowners so that they may continue living independently. Come be part of this great day.

SGAD has been to a handful of People Incorporated sites before and helped paint, landscape and garden. We will be heading to one of their St. Paul facilities this time around to help get their raingarden planted!

People Incorporated’s mission is to support mental health and wellness in our community through collaboration and integration of care.

We are teaming up with Mississippi Park Connection, HandsOn TC and the Points of Light Conference for a massive 300-person volunteer event. This mighty group will be removing invasive plants along the Mississippi River. SGAD will be bringing 30 folks to represent. 

The Points of Light Conference is the world’s largest service-related convening, bringing together 2,000 nonprofit, government, business and civic leaders to gain and share the knowledge, resources and connections needed to galvanize the power of people to create change. 

This event, hosted in partnership by Target, General Mills, Xcel Energy, Surly Gives a Damn, Mississippi Park Connection and HandsOn Twin Cities, will bring together volunteers that represent our local community as well as 100 volunteers from around the world! We’re excited for this unique opportunity to bring these groups together and give back to our community. 

We will be heading back to the Surly for a little party from 3:00-6:00pm to raise a toast to all all our hardwork. Each volunteer will receive a commemorative t-shirt, two free beers, some nummy food, and other swag items. Come be part of the fun. 

Sign up posted Tuesday, May 21.

Come out and help us with the Special Olympics Summer Games! We will be back at the Track & Field again this year helping participants get into their starting blocks, cheering them on and making sure everything is running smoothly. 

Did you know blood is most in need around holidays? That’s why we have this annual event around the 4th of July. All that said, give us your damn blood and save a life! We are looking for over 100 pints this go around. All donors will receive a free beer coupon (to be used at another time) and a Surly pint glass for your efforts.
