Duluth Nonprofits and Charities

I adopted my first cat from animal allies. They were so helpful with the process and thorough in helping her needs as she had some medical issues that needed to be addressed before adoption. She is living her best life and we are so happy to have her

Their mission sounds great on paper but there is no follow through on actual community action other than 3 events per year. There is no standard training available, but it is listed on their website. They do have a in person support group that is run by a provider that has a history of misgendering and dismissing queer people. Basically, they seem great on the outside but with no actionable community policies that are not just "for fun" / "In memory" events. I wish they did more to engage and educate people within the community. Not only that, their financing and donations go through personal peoples accounts or PayPal. this is shady and I cannot recommend them

Wow, just wow! I feel like my daughter found her “home”. She also found her “people”. JoLynn, John and the crew couldn’t be more outstanding! My daughter has come to love her time on the ranch, the horses that she rides, and the time that she gets to spend at this amazing place with these incredible people. I think the horses take care of her as much as she takes care of them. What started out as some fun riding lessons has gained for us new friends that feel like family! ❤️

I had an idea to provide housing and support for pregnant women if they would agree to be employees in my house and on my farm; reducing the number of pregnancy abortions in Duluth by providing desirable alternatives. Then I learned about the Star of the North Maternity Home. A project that provides free food, housing, counseling, and support services to pregnant women experiencing "housing instability" (homeless or domestic crisis). I investigated with skepticism, and found the Star of the North Maternity home to be so legitimate that it exceeded my expectations of how good it could be.

Conquering CHD is a one-stop shop for patients with congenital heart disease and their families. As a parent of two CHD patients and a Patient Advocate, I am able to access local support from other CHD families, education on the latest advancements in cardiac treatment and research, as well as participate in legislative advocacy. <br> <br>Conquering CHD has given me the resources to best advocate for my children and their care and has connected me to a national network from which to learn from and grow with. My family will grow with Conquering CHD, as my children transition to adolescent and adult CHD providers, and eventually manage their care solo. Conquering CHD supports the CHD patient over their lifetime and that's something none of us can go without. <br> <br>Volunteers in Minnesota provide much-needed support and comfort during difficult times. They host events to celebrate the good times. They provide education and resources when patients and families need it most. They are truly changing the landscape of congenital heart disease, one patient at a time!

These Charlatans prey on mentally ill and vulnerable people and should not be supported.

I am 45 years old and I'm homeless with very little to no family to help me with my homless situation. I am a type 2 diabetic and I suffer from bipolar depression, and insomnia. At 9 years of age my mother was murdered by my father in Chicago Illinois and I moved to MN in 1989 with Dad after his imprisonment. Since living in MN ive produced 6 children in which whom my first born died of a rare form of cancer suddenly at the age of 18 yrs old and that's when my world started falling apart and my depression went into overdrive. I've lived a horrible lifestyle of gangbanging and drug dealing as well as major drug usage and I'm 100% clean,and have recently graduated treatment and aftercare. I've given up the street lifestyle long ago but find myself as a product of my environment . I've lost everything I've ever loved even myself. I feel as if I'm falling down this sinking hole very slowly and the light keeps getting darker and darker as I'm steadily fallen down this hole very slowly and it feels like I'm the only 1 in this world that knows that I'm falling and therefore theres noone there to help me because they can't hear me because I'm the only 1 there. I don't know what to do or where to go for help and my resources are very limited because I have no family and no friends. I don't know what this site is because I hardly know anything about computers or technology I was just on here because I heard that hotels are letting homless people reside in them and I'm just trying to sign up for it if that's really available so that I can have shelter over my head and hopefully everything else will fall in place. Please someone help me if your reading this because my tears won't allow me to ask anyone for help and I don't know how to ask for help because people are evil and they love to tell me that word no all the time so I've stopped asking period but at this rate I'm gonna find myself frozen to death in the cold because I don't have a clue as to what to do because my past drug dealing allowed me to have everything I've ever needed in life and therefore I've never even had a job well all that's over now and I'm just out here alone without a clue as to what to do.

Rabbi Mendy and Tirtza are among the most inspiring residents of Duluth. Their boundless love for all those who enter their home is exemplary, and serves as a beacon of hope in these times of division. May we always have something new to learn from Chabad, and from the Ross family!

I have been volunteering with this nonprofit since it opened in 2012. I has a great mission that addresses two community needs at once: providing supplies to 14 school districts and keeping items out of the landfill. A store is stocked with new and gently used items that have been donated by companies and individuals. Teachers are invited to shop for free once a month. Both the donors and the teachers are most grateful for the service.

Lake Superior Youth Choir does any amazing job at modeling and developing strong leadership skills, discipline and musical skills for all of its singers. We feel so fortunate that our child can have this incredible experience.

I have been donating to the UGM for many years. I often help put on fundraisers for a wide number of groups in need of help. Very often I've brought leftover food , canned goods and other items from the benefit and have always been warmly welcomed and thanked. A good , generous friend won the McNight award for community service last year and received a stipend of $10,000 which he shared with myself and one other friend. I split my share with the UGM and Loaves and Fishes, both great agencies which get very little recognition. I have worked with many young people who have struggled in the schools and who receive help from the UGM. They may be considered a "Christian" organization but turn no one away, regardless of religious or non-religious belief.

Echoes of Peace is a great organization that provides opportunities for people in Duluth, Minnesota and surrounding communities to sing in a no-audition community choir. Additionally, the non-profit supports other community organizations by partnering with them in a variety of community activities related to social justice. I have enjoyed singing in the choir since 2003 and have served on the Board since 2015.

At Aftenro we are a family-- residents/families and staff together.

This is a great nonprofit! The staff is voluntary and they help many orphaned and or injured animals. And if a bird for example is better served by transfer to another facility, it is done by volunteers mostly from Facebook posts. They really care about all animals.

One of my first audit clients back in the day. Their message resonates even more now that I am a father of 3 beatiful girls. Entire D&D organization is passionate about what they do.

Following the Women's Movement and concern for the magnitude of USA issue with domestic violence, this group has supported mentoring sports, mentoring in schools to assure men grow up to think of shared power and fairness. <br>Work with sentencing circles (community alternative to courtroom) sentencing for participants in domestic violence. <br>I was able to join two groups of young shoplifters as they had a choice between a sentence or joined a circle to enhance their awareness of shoplifting's effects in the workplace, schools and their futures. Men As Peacemakers has an ongoing need for community members who have been affected by shoplifting: this includes clerks, business owners and indeed, all of us. Give Peacemakers a call to help out for this short intervention. <br> <br>If parents are not able or available to youth, mentoring needs to come from us.

This was one of the ballets' best seasons. With a new production of Midsumer's Night Dream and some new company members, the company was elevated to the next level. <br> <br>The company's artistic level is very good for the resources that they have.

The YWCA does amazing work in the community and provides opportunity and hope at times when hope is lost. Keep up the good work!

My review is that Miller Dwan Hospital is a great place to have surgery. They are number one in my book. Very caring, very attentive. Loved the staff for both surgeries.

Arc Northland does a GREAT job of supporting families of people with disabilities! Our family would not have stayed intact without them....our children would not have become who they are!!

My kindergarten daughter attend Lakeview Christian Academy. We love it there. She has 10 kids in her class and gets a lot of personalized attention from the teacher. She is really growing and learning a lot. The other families are wonderful and we have made friends with many of them. I'd never send my daughter anywhere else.
