Open Arms of Minnesota provides free, nutritious meals to people living with life-threatening illnesses. Volunteers deliver made-from-scratch meals to more than 1,000 clients, caregivers and dependents per week throughout the Twin Cities metro, providing nourishment and hope for families dealing with cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis and ALS. Each of the delicious meals we provide to our clients costs $5 to prepare and deliver. One innovative way for community partners to help in this work is to rent space in our beautiful building or hire our highly skilled team of professional chefs to cater your event right here at Open Arms. Revenue from room rental and catering directly fund meals for neighbors in need.

Every $5 of profit from catering or room rental = One healthy meal for a client
