Make a Difference During Give to the Max Day!
Learn about how you can get involved during this statewide day of generosity and community!
We’re thrilled to share that this Thursday is Give to the Max Day—Minnesota’s annual giving day. As we gear up for this incredible day of giving, we’re reaching out to you, our valued supporter, to help us kickstart our campaign strong.
Our work wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our Direct Support Professionals (DSPs)! Take for example, A’Zirah Odell from our Carver House. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everyone at Carver House receives care tailored to their unique needs.
- For Arthur: She encourages him to participate in activities by setting up the activity ahead of time, complete with a drink, snack, and his tablet in case he gets distracted.
- For Jackie: She does her hair specifically to match her outfit for the day, and of course, always makes sure she is wearing her bracelets that she needs to have a successful day.
- For Cody: She encourages him to help with daily activities around the home, like helping with dinner, setting the table, or doing his exercises and daily walks.
- For Laurel: She always reads Laurel her favorite book, sets the TV to her favorite show, or plays music and dances with her.
She also goes the extra mile to make sure the house is set up for the next person on duty, including getting pajamas and lunches ready.
This is why your support for this Give to the Max Day week is so important! Our DSPs are at the heart of carrying out our mission each and every day. Their hard work empowers the individuals we support to experience true belonging, independence, and a place to call home.
Please consider supporting us this Thursday for Give to the Max Day or anytime this week. You can make a difference! All funds raised this week will go towards our Sustain Our Services campaign — providing our staff with the wages and benefits they deserve.
