Hoodlum Nonprofit has been serving our community for over 15 years.

HOODLUM stands for Helping Out Others During Lifes Unkind Moments.

Since we started HOODLUM we have always done our Christmas program, it's actually our main focus. We ask our community for nominations of individuals and families who have faced a hardship this year that is beyond their control, these people may just need to be reminded that people care about them or they just need a hand up not a hand out. We know a lot of people are living paycheck to paycheck and something like an accident, an injury, a major medical diagnosis, even being laid off could put someone in a major crisis.

We are looking for single moms, single dads, grandparents, grandparents raising grandchildren, individuals, someone that has a recent diagnosis or having a life changing event that could totally effect this Christmas/holiday season. If you know of someone who deserves a hand up this Christmas please fill out the nomination form via the link below. (PLEASE DO NOT NOMINATE YOURSELF)

Please remember each nomination is read fully and voted on, the more information you give us about the situation they may be dealing with; even their wants, needs, likes and hobbies will help us decide if they will be selected.

Please follow the rules and expectations laid out for all nominees. In order for your nomination to be considered, all questions must be answered. This assures that the selection committee has the same required information for all requests, ensuring equality and consistency for nominees. Please incl...

It was my privilege of delivering gifts to a very deserving darling lady that needed a hand after losing her daughter to leukemia a few months back now caring for her 1 year old grandson. I want to thank all the Hoodlum family for making it possible to give amazing people like her a helping hand up! Love you all! HFFH! - Terry Bridges

We are looking for candy donations. We are looking for candy for two parades this summer.

We are going to be in the Big Lake Spud Fest Parade on June 27 with just a truck and candy. Then we'll have a themed float in the Sherburne County Fair Parade on July 18. This year's theme is 'Splish, splash fair bash' ! We have something really fun up our sleeves!

Cash, Venmo and checks are accepted or just drop candy off at the Grabrick's home. The more donations we get the more candy we can give out.

We are also looking for volunteers to walk with us during the parades.

Please reach out to me if you're interested in walking with our parade float at both events.

Hello friends and supporters.

We have a community member in need. This person lost their adult child to cancer a few months ago and is now raising their grandchild. Hoodlum board has agreed to help with financial assistance for some bills but they need some household supplies. If you feel inclined to help please comment or message me directly. I will delete the items on the " wishlist " once they are covered by someone. We don't want a huge amount of stuff as they live in a small space. We need just enough to fulfill their list. I will need these items dropped off at my home in Elk River. I would like to deliver these items to this person on Thursday 6/11/26

Gift cards to Walmart or other grocery stores.
