**** Update****** She has found someone to help. Thanks to all of those who raised their hands on a moment's notice. I love this group!!! We have an elderly resident that could use some help moving some items into her new home at an assisted living facility. She had movers lined up, and they cancelled last minute. If anyone could help today, please message us and we will give you contact and address information. Just a few items and some totes. Moving from Forest Lake to Lino. A friend of hers contacted us through our FB page. She has no relatives nearby.

Thursday | 10 AM–1 PM-ish
We need 5–6 volunteers at the IWP Support Center to help unload a trailer full of woodshop tools and equipment! Many hands will make quick work of getting everything unloaded and into the center.

We’re looking for 2 volunteers to help sell raffle tickets during the game.

Friday, September 11 | North St. Paul Car Show

Saturday, September 12 | Cory Slifko Memorial Softball Tournament – Farmington

We are also looking for volunteers to help represent Invisible Wounds Project at Operation Zero.

Can’t make one of the scheduled events? We can still use you!

As we get closer to Invisible Wounds Project's Car Show for a Cause AND Invisible Wounds Project's Concert For a Cause w/ Chris Janson, there is plenty happening around the Support Center. Extra hands are welcome throughout the week to help make pens and other woodshop items, organize incoming merchandise, and get things ready for the big event.

Whether you can give us a few hours or jump in for an entire shift, we appreciate every set of hands that helps keep IWP moving forward. Thank you to our incredible volunteers!

Update: Completed. P.S. Thank you to those that showed up before they arrived to help - they ended up with a flat tire and it took longer than expected, we apologize for the inconvience and confusion but really appreciate the community for showing up for this new neighbor! Thank you!! Original Post: We have a neighbor who could use some help moving her furniture into her new apartment at Mill Ponds. She recently had a baby that is in the NICU and she cannot lift anything.
