At Multiplying Good, we believe people realize their true potential through service to others; we empower individuals to bring about change, and we honor those who have taken on extraordinary efforts for the betterment of their communities. Since 1972 our work has helped individuals see just how positively they can impact the lives of those around them, and in fueling their personal growth and celebrating their achievements, we help them multiply their impact.

We are on a mission. Over the next five years, it is our intent to 1) actively engage 1,000,000 young people as the empathetic leaders and changemakers our country needs, 2) become the brand for service recognition in America, and 3) build The Ripple: A National Community of Service made up of individuals dedicated to putting GOOD back in the national narrative.

Our success as an organization is realized through the work that takes place in our regional chapters, of which Minnesota is one.  The Executive Director (ED) of each chapter is responsible for successful implementation of Multiplying Good’s mission, building awareness, raising resources, and delivering impact across their respective footprint.  The local chapter Board supports the ED in building community and dedication to our mission in three ways: community outreach, fundraising + networking, and partnership development, all three of which are critical to Multiplying Good’s ability to scale our flagship youth service-learning, leadership, and recognition program, Students In Action (SIA).

The Multiplying Good Minnesota Board of Advisors is one of 10 local Boards throughout the United States that supports Multiplying Good and its mission to build a national culture of service.  The Minnesota Board provides volunteer leadership at the local level in service to helping the Minnesota chapter further the mission of Multiplying Good; it is not responsible for organizational governance and holds no fiduciary responsibility.  The Minnesota Board advises the Minnesota chapter, staffed by an ED who supervises one or more program staff (PMs) tasked with the fundamental goal of delivering impact in the region through SIA. 

The Minnesota Board serves as strategic advisors and ambassadors, connectors, philanthropists, sector-leaders (e.g. academic, public-private, sports and entertainment, social entrepreneurs, etc.) to the Minnesota staff, Executive Director Amelia Hemmingsen and Manager of Programs and Partnerships Sarah Butzow.  Board members will have the ability to build relationships with local and regional elected officials; academic, institutional and corporate leaders; high net-worth individuals and local foundations; media outlets; and other strategic partners. They accomplish this by partnering with and providing guidance to the chapter staff team through participation at Board meetings and other events with the express purpose of:

We serve 66 homeless adults in our shelter every night and about 95 cups of coffee. You can help by organizing a coffee drive!

If you're a coffee drinker, I know you appreciate how a hot cup can make you feel ready for your day. Shelter guests get up as early as 3 am to take several buses to get to work and coffee helps them out the door. Many of our guests drink a cup of decaf in the evening, hungry and waiting for dinner.

For non-coffee drinkers, we also can use tea bags and hot cocoa packets!

Although we purchase our coffee from a warehouse store, it still is a large expense. We brew both caffeinated and decaf and we would welcome any brand or size (must be ground).

Please schedule an appointment to drop off your donation at our 160 Glenwood Office

All items must be new, of course.

Bring us your donation of new items or put a box out in your workplace or faith community to collect items from people you know.

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. 

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 Fridays and Saturdays from 9:00 am - 12:30pm.

We are in great need of Friday volunteers!

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 2-4 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.

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 through our Donation Hub, or in person using large MVOB boxes that we can provide your group.

You can also purchase items from our wish lists:
