The gift of time, talent and resources.
We're proud of our participation in community projects and service organizations as individuals and as an engaged corporate citizen.
Some of the organizations we support include:
American Red Cross
Since its founding in 1881 by Clara Barton, the American Red Cross has been the nation's premier emergency response organization. As part of a worldwide movement that offers neutral humanitarian care to the victims of war, the American Red Cross distinguishes itself by also aiding victims of devastating natural disasters. Each year, the American Red Cross helps victims of some 70,000 disasters turn to the more than half a million volunteers and 35,000 employees of the Red Cross. An average of 91 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs.
Angel Foundation
Angel Foundation is about: Supporting Those Touched By Cancer. Angel Foundation provides financial assistance for basic non medical living necessities for cancer patients and their families.
Angel Foundation offers educational support programs to families as they journey through the cancer experience together.
Angel Foundation sponsors special events in the community to raise funds and build awareness of the needs of cancer patients.
Angel Foundation provides community educational programs for cancer patients and family members.
Bridging
Bridging was founded over 20 years ago to help families that have endured tough times get back on their feet by providing a one time opportunity to re-furnish their homes. As a non-profit, Bridging relies on agencies, corporate sponsors, and local churches to provide volunteers and donations to keep Bridging running.
Cabrini Home
The Cabrini Mission was founded over one hundred twenty-six years ago. Their staff members are deeply dedicated to serving the underserved, teaching the uneducated and caring for those in pain. Following the mission of St. Francis Xavier Cabrini, they provide easier lives for women, children, immigrants, elders and others with disadvantages in society around the world. The Cabrini Foundation is a non profit corporation that works in countries like Swaziland, Australia and the Philippines. Every year the Cabrini Mission awards grants to numerous institutions that are supported by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
March for Babies
A short 5-mile fun walk for March for Babies around the lakes adds up. This year SALO/Oberon/NumberWorks had over 50 people participate in the walk, sponsored a "celebration station" on one of the routes and raised over $4,000 for research, outreach, educators and advocates to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects and infant mortality.
Sharing and Caring Hands
Last year SALO, Oberon and NumberWorks donated over 300 items to Sharing and Caring Hands including hats, mittens and scarves to children and young adults.
Women's Foundation of Minnesota
The Women’s Foundation of Minnesota funds and builds the capacity of innovative programs for growing the equality of women and girls statewide. They conduct valuable research and use it to inform our grantmaking, educate opinion shapers and policymakers, and raise public awareness. They also measure social change with specific indicators for tracking progress and promote women’s philanthropy and provide their donors with important training and tools to help shape a just society.
