Celebrate Three Million Meals With Us on November 1

Updated on 10.15.12

“I am so very grateful to those who provide the meals. I am humbled by the kindness of Open Arms of MN and those who volunteer. Because of you, we eat healthier, and there is always a meal there when I am too sick.”

This month we deliver our three-millionth meal. What a milestone!

For 26 years, we’ve brought hope, community and delicious meals to our clients — and we couldn’t have done it without you. Every step of the way, your compassion, care and unwavering support ensured that people in their most vulnerable moments were nourished in body and soul.

You’re invited to celebrate all that we have accomplished together:

Thursday, November 1st at 11 a.m.

At the event, Executive Director Tim Reardon will share a few words about the exciting future of Open Arms as we look forward to the next million meals.

We’ll provide refreshments, and two lucky guests will get to ride along with Tim and longtime volunteer Dottie Johnson on the celebratory delivery to one of our clients.

Hope to see you there! Please RSVP to Nancy Benedict if you can join us.
