Bring a Friend to Shop Recap

Thank you to all of the shoppers that brought a friend with them to volunteer this past week during our first annual 'Bring a Friend to Shop' week!

We had a great turn out and were able to find a few new volunteers!

A New Way to Support Store To Door!

A New Way to Support Store To Door

GiveMN.org, a new online charity portal, has a deal that could offer a big payoff to Store To Door.

On Tuesday, November 17, for folks that donate to Store To Door online via GiveMN.org (www.GiveMN.org) there is a 50 cents on the dollar match with no upward limit on how much can go to each charity (well, there is $ 500,000 total match dollars available, so I guess that’s an upward limit).

The match is open until the $ 500,000 total match budget runs out, which given the attention and media devoted to this, will be by the end of the day, I’m sure. But technically, the match days are November 17 and 18

If you were planning to donate to Store To Door this fall, your donation could be increased by 50% by using this service. And there are no service fees charged to you, or to us.

You can open an “account” with GiveMN and use their services to manage your charitable giving, or you can bypass joining GiveMN.org and donate directly to Store To Door. You need to put this donation on a credit card.

If you can help us out, let us know, and we’ll send you a reminder email the day before. And hold some time the morning of November 17 for the big match!

Bring a Friend to Shop Week!

This week current Store To Door Volunteer shoppers have been invited to bring a friend or family member with them when they volunteer!
"Bring a Friend to Shop Week gives our volunteers the opportunity to share the wonderful work they do in their community as well as spread the word about Store To Door. We hope this will be the first of many similar events!
