Parenting through poverty is about much more than poverty. Lower-income parents face stress from under-employment, unstable housing, and less access to healthy foods. Due to these challenges, their kids have higher rates of asthma, lower graduation rates, and are more likely to live in poverty as adults.
Join us October 14 to give families the tools they need to disrupt these cycles, and set them on a path to success.
We are hosting a fundraiser at Surly Brewing Co. in Minneapolis. There will be live music, food, a silent and live auction. We need people to help us at our registration table, mingle with guests, and to act as a spotter for the live auction.
Set up and take down will be minimal as Surly is responsible for food and tables within the event space.
Volunteers receive a free FamilyWise t-shirt!
Volunteer shifts are 4:00pm-8:00pm

Mission Statement
Strengthening Families by Promoting the Safety, Stability, and Well-being of Children.
Description
FamilyWise is a local nonprofit that helps our community’s most vulnerable children and families. Many of these families come to us with a history of poverty, domestic violence and homelessness. Your volunteering and financial support helps break this cycle of despair and gives them hope for a better future.
Our goal is to promote social change by strengthening families and the community through programs that:
- Educate parents on skills needed to lead stable lives and provide safe homes for their children.
- Empower families to achieve self-sufficiency and to advocate for themselves and their children.
- Enrich the lives of children, youth and families, enabling them to lead healthy, productive family lifestyles.
"Volunteering at FamilyWise opened my eyes to a whole new world where children and families from all walks of life are treated with dignity and respect. It made me feel good to know that I was helping contribute in a meaningful way to the greater good."
