Opportunities From: HandsOn Twin Cities

We are looking for individuals, groups and organizations to fund & build specialized packs of select hygiene items to easily share with struggling neighbors. These items will be provided to school social workers, nurses, food shelves and more to distribute with dignity to the students, individuals and families they serve.

Specifically, we need the following:

Host a Drive or Buy in bulk!

You choose the items you'd like to focus on, set a goal to build a certain number of packs, purchase enough products, and then start packing!

We appreciate your support to help our community members who are struggling to access these items.

With each new bed, My Very Own Bed delivers a Dream Kit (new twin-sized sheets, blanket, pillow, mattress pad, and stuffed animal) to each child. We rely on volunteers to host Dream Kit Donation Drives in their workplaces, neighborhoods, places of worship, or school communities in order to meet this important need. 

All items are brand new, and we rely on volunteers to donate almost all of these items. Many groups enjoy hosting events or competitions to encourage donations. Donations can be collected online or in person using large MVOB boxes that we can provide your group.

You can also purchase items from our wish lists:

Amazon Wishlist 

Walmart Registry for Good

Macy’s Registry

Target Registry

 For more information about this or other volunteer opportunities, contact:info@myveryownbed.org

At MVOB, we choose blankets for children ages 2-17 based on their individual requests.

Fleece blankets are a great way to make sure a child’s bedding matches their interests. This opportunity is also great for individuals and groups. 

Please find our instructions for blanket making attached to this email. Blankets should be at least 60 x 90 inches. Please check our fleece blanket instructions for more information. 

Once completed, blankets can be scheduled for drop off using the following calendar: Donation Drop Off Calendar

We welcome individuals, families, work teams, youth groups, and others to help us deliver beds and dream-kits to kids in our community. 

Deliveries are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 9:00 am - 12:30pm.

What our volunteers do: First, you'll help My Very Own Bed staff assemble Dream Kits (sheets, blanket, pillow, book, & stuffed animal) to go with each bed. Then you'll follow our delivery van in your own vehicle, and help deliver beds to 4-6 families' homes around the Twin Cities. At each home, we'll carry mattresses, frames and Dream Kits from the truck to the home. This is a wonderful opportunity for families with kids- we have the kids assemble the Dream Kits and then they're put in charge in carrying the Dream Kits into the families' homes. Families' are given the option of having us set up the beds. This is a great way for volunteers to interact with parents and children! 

Accessibility: Volunteers who cannot/don't want to lift 50+ pounds are invited to carry Dream Kits rather than mattresses/bedframes. Volunteers must have their own vehicle to participate in deliveries, but you will not need to put any beds or supplies in your car. We prioritize the safety of the families that we serve and require a face mask when we go into families' homes.

 You can schedule a volunteer date here!

Please contact info@myveryownbed.org if you have any other questions.

Losing the ability to drive can be a difficult turning point. For many older adults, it means new barriers to getting to medical appointments or handling everyday essentials like grocery shopping. We seek individuals who enjoy driving and, more importantly, helping others stay connected and engaged.

Our mission at Longfellow/Seward Healthy Seniors is to empower seniors to live healthy, independent, and socially engaged lives. Reliable transportation for medical appointments and grocery shopping is vital to making this possible.

As a Volunteer Driver, you will help seniors by providing rides to medical appointments and assisting with grocery pickup and delivery.

If you're 19 or older, have a good driving record, and own a safe, well-maintained vehicle, we encourage you to join us in supporting our local seniors. A background check and orientation will be provided for all new volunteers.

Support Seniors in Their Homes—Volunteer with Longfellow/Seward Healthy Seniors!

At Longfellow/Seward Healthy Seniors, our mission is to empower individuals aged 60 and older to live healthy, independent, and socially connected lives. Part of this mission involves ensuring that seniors can continue living in safe, clean homes.

Would you consider giving just 1-2 days a month to help an older adult with everyday household tasks? This could involve taking out the trash, doing laundry, changing bed sheets, light dusting, or vacuuming. If you're able, you could also assist with heavier lifting or simple home repairs.

Your support would mean the world to someone who no longer has the strength or mobility to manage these tasks alone. We offer flexible scheduling, a welcoming and grateful community, and the opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of isolated seniors.

Access to technology is important for staying connected and engaged in today’s world, but navigating computers and cell phones can be challenging for some. You can make a difference by helping Minneapolis (55406, 55404) seniors with basic technology questions, such as:

You can provide assistance in person or over the phone. Or, attend one of our quarterly technology clinics where seniors can receive hands-on help with their computers, cell phones, and tablets.

We're joining Anoka's City-Wide Garage Sale on May 15 & 16 and need a volunteer crew to help Part of Operation Relocation is working on downsizing all the things we accumulated over 25 years because "they might be useful" someday.

The garage sale is a chance for those items to find a new home, and also raise money for the move. Win win!  But we need extra hands to help pull it all off. 

We appreciate our Local History supporters and lovers so much. Thank you for being with us on this journey.

You’ll provide critical coordination and support to keep projects moving forward while ensuring solutions reflect each food shelf’s unique needs. Your work will help elevate the voice and experience of shoppers in service design and delivery.
