| Help Now | Single Mom needing supportA local single mom in our community could really use some support this month. She works full-time and is raising a teenage son on her own. Often needing to take time off to meet her son’s needs, which has made it hard to keep up with bills. She is currently behind on March rent and is hoping to get some assistance catching up so she can stabilize and begin paying down credit card debt that built up after relocating from to MN to escape an abusive relationship and start over safely. She’s working hard to rebuild and provide for her son, and any help—big or small—would make a meaningful difference right now. If you’re able to contribute or know of resources that might help with past-due rent, please reach out. Thank you for supporting a hardworking mom who is doing her best to create a safe, stable life for her child.Submitted by: Scott County | Prior Lake | No | 03/31/2026 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
| Help Now | Grocery Gift CardsI am working with one set of siblings that are currently residing with relative/kin support due to the mother being homeless. One provider is currently caring a 2-year-old with no financial support and the other caregiver is caring for two children ages 6 and 7. Due to the increase in grocery and daily care needs, the providers are in need of a grocery gift card to help bridge the gap of the rising costs. They have also been connected with local resources for support longer term. Any amount towards two grocery gift cards- one for each provider- would be greatly appreciated. One provider shops at Walmart and the other Hy-vee, I was hoping to secure $100 each.Submitted by: Scott County | All Locations | No | 1774310400 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
| Help Now | Young Family in NeedI am writing to request rental assistance for a local family with a newborn and a preschooler. The family is currently $600 short of their $1,700 rent for March. While they were able to secure $1,100, an income loss earlier this month has left them unable to cover the remaining balance. Having barely managed their expenses last month, they are now in urgent need of support to maintain their housing. Thank you for your time and for considering this request.Submitted by: Scott County Public Health | Shakopee | Yes | 1774915200 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
| Help Now | new tiresA parent purchased a used vehicle last month to get herself to work and her child to school. The vehicle came with snow tires on it, and she would like to have regular, all purpose tires for the vehicle once winter ends. She does not have any money for the tires as she now has to start making car payments. The car is a 2015 Ford Fusion SE.Submitted by: Scott County | Shakopee | No | N/A | Closed - Filled through FISH | |

| Help Now | Assistance Needed for Children’s Birthday GiftsI am submitting this request on behalf of a parent we support who is receiving CADI Waiver services and living on a very limited income. Due to her disability and restricted budget, her monthly funds are used almost entirely for essential needs, leaving little available for anything beyond basic expenses. With two of her children celebrating birthdays soon—turning 1 and 8—she is unable to afford even small gifts for them and is hoping for assistance to make their birthdays special. Her 8‑year‑old son is bright, imaginative, and especially fond of Spider‑Man. A small Spider‑Man–themed LEGO set has been identified as a meaningful and affordable gift that would bring him a great deal of joy. Her 1‑year‑old daughter enjoys soft, comforting toys. A plush toy has been selected, along with a gentle baby‑wipe warmer to help meet her sensory and temperature‑sensitivity needs. Any support offered would make a significant difference for this family and help ensure these children feel celebrated on their birthdays. Thank you for your consideration and continued support of families in need. https://www.target.com/p/lego-marvel-spider-man-vs-doc-ock-subway-train-scene-building-set-76321/-/A-94152844#lnk=sametab https://www.target.com/p/fisher-price-pink-otter-baby-toy/-/A-94713333#lnk=sametab https://www.target.com/p/munchkin-bright-38-warm-wipe-warmer-white/-/A-52361561#lnk=sametabSubmitted by: Mt.
