Help Now	Gobbler Hopper This month, we are launching a campaign to collect turkeys for those who may not otherwise be able to afford one. How this works is with the link provided below, you can donate $15 to purchase a turkey and in return, you will receive a free beer at either The Boat House Brewery in Prior Lake, The Shakopee Brewhall in Shakopee, or Loons Landing in Prior Lake.

Help Now	Help Feed Some Hungry Teens TreeHouse has 10 students enrolled, have a great group of volunteers but are needing meals and also fill-in van drivers. If people want to furnish a meal for 10 -12 people, usually something simple that can be brought in, such as spaghetti, tater tot hotdish, tacos, chicken alfredo, pizza, sub sandwiches, just about anything. They do not have any kitchen space available so disposable containers works great or crock pots/dishes that can be taken home and washed. They have paper goods such as plates, silverware, bottled water, etc. They would even appreciate gift cards to Dominos, Red Savoy, Kwik Trip, Cub or HyVee.

Help Now	1st grade girl in need of some things A teacher from a Scott County School District reached out about a 1st grade girl who might need a few things. She mentioned the girl has a hard time tying her shoes and constantly is tripping on her shoe laces, so she asked for a pair of school shoes for the little girl that she can keep at school. She also mentioned the little girl always has hair in her eyes, and it is a distraction in class when she is trying to pay attention to a lesson. To make things easier, she asked for a little bag with some hair binders, a brush, detangling spray and head band so the teacher or class para can help the girl with her hair to help with those distractions. We are hoping to order this student a pair that will fit now, and a pair that will fit in the spring.

Help Now	3rd grade boy basketball season We have a 3rd grade student who loves sports. His family paid for him to play football this Fall but had to choose to have the cousin play basketball because costs prevented them from having both in the basketball. The current reality is that this student comes to practice and watches his cousin each day since his family is unable to have both in the program because of costs. He desperately wants to be out with his friends playing. Both parents experienced incredible struggles as young people and went back to school to complete their high school diploma after the typical age of completion. They were both one of the firsts in their family to finish high school. Now, they have completed trades degrees and are working full time. Their children are now moving towards thriving in the educational system they struggled in as parents. And, because of factors like debt, things remain stressful and fragile financially. The children are often in the care of relatives because parents work rotating shifts, including nights. Contributing to this student’s access to basketball participation will improve his social, emotional, and academic health in the short and long term. Thank you for considering. The amount to play is $200 plus the student needs new basketball shoes and bag so total amount asked for is around $400 Submitted by: FISH	All Locations	Children Clothing & Personal Items	No	1669766400	Closed - Filled through FISH Fulfilled Offers
Help Now	4th Grade Basketball Star We have a 4th grade student who lives in Scott County. His family has had to move back and forth from Chicago to Minnesota multiple times in his life due to economic challenges. He has a loving, supportive family. Because of the many moves, school has been a struggle for him as he has fallen off pace. This student is so kind and brilliant. He is a sensational basketball player. His mom and dad both played and have helped him learn about the joy, skillwork and value of playing on a basketball team.
