ACT | Covid Booster Shots

How is the Covid caseload expected to change as the second winter of the pandemic draws closer? This depends on three key factors: how our current immunity holds up, how the virus itself changes, and how we behave. Currently, all adults over 18 in Minnesota are recommended to get their Covid booster.

GIVE | Minnesota Homeless Fund

Over 1600 Minnesotans sleep outside in the cold during the winter. The Minnesota Homeless Fund aims to increase shelter options and give financial aid to people with out shelter.
