| Help Now | 🎃 Help Make Halloween Special for 12 Kids! 👻We’re hoping to make this Halloween extra special for 12 children whose families have recently transitioned from homelessness into stable housing. These parents are working hard to rebuild stability, and we’d love to give them the chance to create joyful memories with their kids this season. Instead of collecting items, we’re asking for donations so families can pick out their own costumes and supplies together. This allows each child to feel included in the fun of choosing their favorite costume and pumpkin! Here’s the breakdown per child: • 👕 Costume – $35 • 🎃 Pumpkin – $7 • 🔪 Carving Kit – $8 • 🍬 Trick-or-Treat Bucket/Bag – $5 Total per child: $55 We’re helping 12 children, so our total goal is $660 to make sure each one can enjoy a magical Halloween. Every dollar helps bring a smile to a child’s face this season. 💜Submitted by: FISH | Shakopee | No | 10/31/2025 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
| Help Now | Mom struggling to afford tiresHi everyone we have a mom who is trying to get back on her two feet. She's had several obstacles come along, one of them being unable to afford new tires. She got a quote, and it will about $150 to cover the tires and replacement fee.

| Help Now | Bed donation for a local familyA mom, dad, and their new 2-month-old baby are currently facing a difficult situation. Due to tight finances, the parents have been sleeping on the floor for the past three months. While the father works hard, the family's budget is stretched thin, especially with the new baby at home. They are not eligible for a local assistance voucher (like the HEART voucher) until January, meaning they face a few more months of sleeping on the hard floor unless we can step in. How You Can Help We are seeking a full or queen-size bed—mattress and box spring, or a complete frame/mattress set—to give this family a safe, comfortable place to sleep. The bed does not need to be brand new, but it must be clean and in good, usable condition. Your donation would mean more than just a piece of furniture; it would provide much-needed rest, comfort, and dignity to two parents who are devoted to caring for their newborn. Thank you in advance for considering this important request. Any help is truly appreciated and will make an immediate, profound difference in this family's life.Submitted by: Scott County | Shakopee | No | 1764374400 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
| Help Now | 💛 Let’s Support a Hardworking Mom Building Her New Start 💛We’ve been in contact with a single mom who recently exited homelessness with her 5-year-old son. She’s also 16 weeks pregnant and doing everything she can to create a stable home and future for her family. Her 5-year-old son is autistic and has very specific foods and textures he will eat, which makes grocery shopping more challenging and expensive. Due to some pregnancy complications, she had to take a week off work without pay and will also need to take time off next week during MEA to care for her son. Recently, her car needed repairs. She impressively paid for those out of her own savings, showing how hard she works to stay independent — but that left little for other essentials. This month, she could really use help with: 🛒 $250 Target gift card for groceries (to buy the foods her son will eat) 🚗 $90 toward her car insurance This mom works whenever she’s able and takes pride in providing for her family. We truly believe this is a one-time need as she continues to settle in and build stability for her growing family. If you’d like to contribute, you can do so here: [insert link] Your kindness helps lift so much weight off her shoulders and reminds her she’s not alone as she builds her new future. 💕Submitted by: FISH | Shakopee | No | 1761868800 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
