Get together with your family, coworkers or friends to assemble Healthy Snack Packs for kids at our East Metro Place facility! How it works volunteers purchase in bulk 3-4 non-perishable snack items and place them in brown paper lunch bags. As an added bonus, bags can even be decorated with a fun drawing or positive message to the student. Common items to include are Goldfish, popcorn, pretzels, applesauce, fruit snacks, granola bars, juice box, water, etc. Snack Packs are really popular for kids as they come home from school, and for many it’s a good treat to have until they eat dinner at home. This project is not time sensitive and can be completed on the group's schedule. For any questions or to sign up, please contact Dylan at 651-846-9024 or Dmcdonough@solidgroundmn.org.

Community Meals serve as a great opportunity for families to make connections with each other, volunteers and staff, as well as stretch their food budgets and have access to healthy options like fresh fruits/vegetables. We ask that each meal consist of a main dish, starch, vegetable and/or salad, and milk or juice. Dessert is optional. Fresh fruits and vegetables are encouraged. Volunteers prepare the meal at their own location, planning for about 75 people, then transport the food to our East Metro Place facility to serve to our families. Solid Ground has plenty of basic cooking and serving tools available for volunteers to use, as well as dishware and utensils for our families. Meals are typically scheduled on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, from 4:30-6:30pm, but we're happy to adjust the schedule to meet your availability if needed. For any questions, please contact Dylan at 651-846-9024 or DMcDonough@solidgroundmn.org.

For years Solid Ground has invited the community to share the magic of the holidays with the families we serve. Holiday donors have brought joy to hundreds of children and relief to many parents who might have otherwise struggled to afford gifts. We are excited to invite donors to share the holiday spirit through our Holiday Express Program! To help capture the joy of the holiday season, the Holiday Express program gives every family member the opportunity to receive the perfect present. How it works is each family at Solid Ground receives a Wish List, to which each person can write up to three gifts they would like to receive. As we collect Wish Lists, we will match families with community donors based off information provided on our Holiday Express Donor Form. We’ll start matching donors with families by early-mid November. If you would like to sign up to provide holiday gifts for our families this year, please fill out our Holiday Express Donor Form - https://forms.gle/QqYXkZo2EetyfT3m9. Once we've matched each family with a donor, we'll be in need of volunteers to help us receive, organize & distribute gifts in mid-December. Dates & times needed are listed below: Receive & Organize Gifts | Dec. 11th, 13th & 15th | 9:00am-12:00pm & 1:00pm-4:00pm Distribute Gifts | Dec. 19th & 20th | 4:30pm-6:30pm *Volunteers are needed for both in-person and delivery distribution. If you have any questions about the Holiday Express program or how to contribute, please contact Dylan at 651-846-9024 or Dmcdonough@solidgroundmn.org.
