Bear creek services will be one of the many non profit organizations participating in the one time fundraiser: hashtag give at home mn.

The initiative aims to shed some light on the struggles minnesota nonprofits are facing right now.

With so many people looking for ways to give back?

This is one easy option you can do so from the comfort of your home.

Bear creek services is considered essential because it provides care for those with disabilities.

The executive director, linda driessen, tells me organizations like this one aren't getting a lot of recognition right now... but they can't provide their crucial services without the funds.xxx "people donating to places like bear creek services it validates the belief that people with disabilities are important and serves the attention that the rest of the community gets that are providing essential services."

If you choose to donate to bear creek services, an anonymous donor will match 50 percent of what you give?

For the first four thousand dollars.

We'll of course have a link directing you to the give at home mn campaign on our website kimt dot com.
