We invite you to our 40th anniversary celebration on Tuesday, July 18, when we'll honor our volunteers! If you have ever volunteered with Bellis, please come! Our entire Bellis community is welcome to all anniversary events. (Donor Celebration on August 3, 4 - 7 p.m.)
A brief program begins at 5:30 p.m. that will recognize our 2023 Volunteers of the Year: father and daughter, John Overson and Kristine Moser! Thanks to our wonderful sponsors, we'll have an ice cream sundae bar and special door prizes.
While you're here, please enjoy the art submitted to our inaugural art show, A Home for My Story, and view the plaque to commemorate our founding mothers that we unveiled in May.
Pay it Forward Campaign: $40K for 40 Years
Your generosity enables our nonprofit to offer effective programming, including retreats for birth mothers of all experiences (now in our 10th year), weekly peer-support groups exclusively for mothers whose parental rights were terminated by the courts, and a monthly gathering for adults of all experiences of adoption and foster care.
The event take place at Bellis in the Uptown Office Park building at 3249 Hennepin Ave., Suite 103, Minneapolis. Street parking is available on neighboring streets, and a Metro bus stop is just outside the building at Hennepin Ave. and 33rd St.
