BLOG: Local Nonprofit Chapter Supports North Minneapolis Tornado Victims
A local, hands-on effort helped North Minneapolis Tornado victims. The group raised $1,000 worth of support and relief.
Recently, a group of volunteers from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans-Northern Dakota County Chapter organized an important event.
The group, made up of mostly Eaganites, helped bring $1,000 in new household goods and dressers through Bridging Inc. to support North Minneapolis Tornado Relief.
