For several years there has been an unofficial coalition of citizens and organizations with a common desire to make a positive investment in the Twin Cities. This couldn’t have become any clearer then it did in the Spring of 2020. As the local region navigated a pandemic and social unrest filled with racial tensions, there arose increasing opportunities to respond to practical needs in the community. Eventually, there was a demand for a communication channel that would make it easier for people to be aware of how, where and when they could help.
In an effort to mobilize more effectively and more compassionately, Serve Twin Cities was born! With very little promotion, hundreds of people requested email notification of opportunities to serve. People from different backgrounds and organizations came together in rapid response to serve South Minneapolis in the wake of rioting and looting. The work is far from finished and we believe any challenge or tragedy can be overcome through loving others with dignity and honor. Serve Twin Cities is an initiative of Inspire Possible, a local non-profit organization, in partnership with individuals and organizations.
