A Message From Our Executive Director
Executive Director & Founder
Good in the ‘Hood is dedicated to changing lives together with simple acts of kindness. Although our service opportunities are not solely limited to the urban community, we do have a purposeful inner-city affinity and a commitment to serve those with the most need.
We believe that goodness and kindness are inspirational, change-agent qualities and it is our firm conviction that urban renewal can begin to take place when a focused and contagious momentum of genuine kindness is made manifest. Our desire is to inspire individuals, families and entire neighborhoods to take responsibility and ownership for the growth, improvement and well-being of their personal lives and community. Through partnerships and kindness-based initiatives we believe the physical, emotional and spiritual climate of an entire community can be changed for good.
Holiday Help Campaign
Help us bring good cheer and relief to families and children in need this holiday season. Whether it be an investment of your time, resources, joining us as an Adopt-A-Family sponsor, or with a generous financial donation. YOU CAN HELP US to reach our goal to serve hundreds of Twin Cities families in need of holiday gifts for their children! For the past several years, we have partnered with many caring sponsors to offer an Adopt-A-Family shopping with dignity experience for families in need.
Give to the Max Day
At Good in the ‘Hood, we are all about community. Yet in the next 6 weeks children will go without gifts because their families just can’t make ends meet. You can provide a child with a gift for just $50 (we provide each child with 2 gifts or 2 $25 gift cards), and we will ensure that your gift is delivered directly to those in the greatest need. Will you help us reach 750 MN families this season? Each gift brings help and inspires hope.
