One stop. Many hearts. Countless acts of care.
This premier event, sponsored by Van Meter Inc & Marathon Petroleum - St. Paul Park Refinery, is all about lending a helping hand to those in a tough spot, especially folks without a place to call home. It's a team effort where local non-profits team up to offer meals, toiletries, connections to county services, school supplies, and a bunch more to support the homeless members of our community.
