More to come on this -- but yesterday Mayor Frey proclaimed "Avivo Day in the City of Minneapolis!" We were honored, along with our partners Wildflyer Coffee, for our mutual work toward stability and employment for youth experiencing homelessness, receiving together the “Excellence in Workforce Development – Employer Partnerships” award from the City of Minneapolis' Minneapolis Workforce Development Board and Minneapolis Employment and Training.

This month's Wish List item invites you to be a little creative it's lanyards to hold keys. When someone in Avivo’s programs moves into permanent housing, they need a safe way to hold their new apartment key (it can cost $100 or more to replace a key if it’s lost). Pick a fun design or purchase bulk lanyards – whatever inspires you to help! https://lnkd.in/d7tzs3D

Thank you for making last night's Avivo Night of Champions Avivo's most successful fundraiser ever! We raised nearly $220,000 in support of Avivo's life-changing services thanks to the generous support of friends and donors like you. This year's event was our most successful Avivo Night of Champions ever thanks to amazing support, energy, and generosity of a community passionate about Avivo's work. This year's three Avivo Champions – Allina Health, Red Lake Nation, and Wildflyer Coffee – are creating powerful change in the lives of people Avivo serves. The program was inspiring and full of stories sharing the impact of giving to Avivo, especially Bianka's speech. Please share the link to her inspiring story with your friends and family.

Here's what a few entries to our "Importance of Home" contest are saying about why home is important to them: Home is where I am guaranteed to feel comfortable. Home is important because it should mean safety surrounded by people who support you. Home is dependable, a safe place to be myself. To feel warm and have comforts that matter to me. Everyone deserves to feel the safety and comfort of home. Share why home is important to you for a chance to win some Avivo swag!
