Here are a few urgent needs:

Assemble Snack Packs. To create PopUp Care Carts for healthcare heroes we are in need of 100+ snack packs! We are looking for ziploc bags that contain three or more individually wrapped healthy snacks (adding a thank you note is optional!) Assemble New Mom Care Packs. We are looking for a bag/box that contains one travel kleenex, chapstick, a travel hand lotion, a notepad and a pen. These are given out in our Birth Center and Redleaf Center for Family Healing. Assemble Giggle Packs. We are looking for ziploc bags that contain 3+ non-choke hazard sized items (bubbles, chalk, crayons, mini notepad, stickers, inflatable beach ball, etc). These are given out at community clinics. Assemble Toiletry Packs. We are looking for a ziploc bag that contains travel toothpaste/brush, deodrant, soap and anything else you wish to add. These are given out in our Coordinated Care Center and by community paramedics.

Volunteer: Teddy Bear Clinic - Call for Sponsors

Hennepin Healthcare is hosting a Teddy Bear Clinic on Saturday, May 9, 2026 from 9am – 1pm as part of Doors Open Minneapolis. This is ideal for children who are between 2 – 8 years old. Since children learn and express themselves through play, the aim is to educate and entertain them at a series of 12+ interactive stations to help normalize a medical experience. Children bring their Teddy Bears (or any stuffed animal) to the event and follow the “prescription” checklist (for their teddy to get stitches, x-rays, a bandage, hearing test, dentist visit and more). They also have the opportunity to tour of an ambulance and a fire truck. Free parking available in the Clinic and Specialty Center’s underground garage (entrance is at 821 Park Ave, Minneapolis). Learn more at www.hennepinhealthcare.org/teddy

Call for Sponsors:

The $1500 sponsor opportunity is available for 12 stations. Sponsor benefits include your logo on station signage, a social media mention, the opportunity to supply an insert in 400+ swag bags and the opportunity to place volunteers at your station.

Call for Event Day Volunteers:

We will also have an open call for volunteers from the community. If you wish to be added to that email, please contact Paula.Wilhelm@hcmed.org by March 19, 2026.
