Good Afternoon Miles for Meals friends! Just wanted to share a quick update on the progress of the Open Hands Midway Miles for Meals fundraiser. As of today our Executive Director has ridden 935 of the planned 4,000 miles! This past weekend was a LONG ride on the Gandy Dancer Trail from St. Croix Falls to Danbury Wisconsin. When all was said and done the ride was 96 miles. Here are a few pictures, and a map, that you can check out.
We hope to raise $6,000.00 and we have been blessed with an anonymous donor who will give us $500.00 a month if we can raise $500.00 on our own.
If you are wondering what is the Miles for Meals fundraiser read on. The fundraiser is being held to raise awareness, and secure monetary donations, for the meal programs of Open Hands Midway. It is our hope that you will consider a donation anytime between now and the end of October to help offset the costs we incur to make FREE meals for the guests we serve. If you would like to make a donation please go to https://www.givemn.org/give/Open-Hands-Midway OR you can make a check to Open Hands Midway and mail it to us at 436 Roy St. N., St. Paul, MN 55104. We are grateful for your generosity.
