Offering Thanks and a
New Giving Tradition
Thanks for Giving

This year, we aren’t able to host our annual Thanks for Giving event to share our appreciation and high fives in person.

We do, however, want to extend our thanks to all of you for helping local families experiencing medical challenges. 

Whether you extended a kind word, shared a meal or made a financial gift, we want you to know that your kind-hearted efforts made a difference.

We hope you’ll take a moment to review our newsletter to reflect on our 2020 highlights and the families who brought us together this past year.
Big Boost Week - a New Event to Rally Help for 14 Families Through One Charitable Gift

We also hope you’ll consider starting a new holiday giving tradition with us.
Since benefits are not a current option to share help, hope and hugs, we’ve created a new event called Big Boost Week to rally generosity. Big Boost Week makes it easy to help families right now and in a bigger way. 

Gifts of $10 or more supporting Lend A Hand Up’s Big Boost Week made between now and Dec. 4:
  • increase in value by 20%.
  • provide immediate financial relief to many local families through one charitable donation. 
  • are eligible for daily drawings - winners recommend the families that receive Lend A Hand Up Big Boosts of up to $5,000.

Through daily drawings, up to $15,000 in big boosts will be granted to families. Big Boosts are made possible by Dakota Medical Foundation, Alex Stern Family Foundation and other program sponsors.

Wil it be your gift that generates a $5,000 Big Boost for a local family?
We encourage you to learn more about the 14 family fundraisers that will benefit from Big Boost Week donations.

Each and every one of them is hurting right now as lost wages and looming medical expenses intensify their hardship.

Together, we can pool our generosity to lighten their load.
Special thanks extended to our
program sponsors!
