The Housing First Minnesota Foundation is grateful to everyone who donated and attended the ninth annual Fundraising Gala on April 14. The event was completely sold out with 450 builders, remodelers, trade partners, and supporters in attendance. During the evening program, we heard from community partners and residents who were directly impacted by our programs. Plus, we were able to recognize our 2022 award recipients for going above and beyond in supporting the work of the Foundation.
Our silent auction, live auction, fund-a-need, and casino game after-party were a huge success — all thanks to our generous supporters!
All in all, we had a record-breaking event and raised more than $420,000 for Minnesotans experiencing homelessness, veterans, and others in need.
The amazing level of support from the event helps make it possible to address homelessness in our community, and we could not have done it without our supporters.
Congratulations to our award winners!
Thank you to all of the 2022 award recipients for going above and beyond to support the Foundation.
