Get Involved

Our organization is only as effective as our resources allow us to be. Consequently, we invest considerable energy in trying to maximize the resources available to us. We look at three key areas as sources for community support:

Financial contributions are critical. We believe that positive returns on community investing will lead to greater individual and corporate financial support. While our donor returns may not come in the form of dividend checks and stock options, we do believe that we offer a community dividend that warrants investor confidence.  First, we recommend learning about How We Help prior to making any financial commitment.  Next, learn more about the many ways you can support our work through Investing Money.

One of our values is the promotion of volunteering in the Lakes Region. Next to hard currency, volunteering is an extremely powerful way to create positive change in the Lakes Region. There is a real value to volunteering, and with that value, real return. We encourage our friends in the Lakes Region to get involved at some level with the community.  Learn more about volunteer opportunities through Investing Time and visit our UpStreamer page of volunteer opportunities.

Lastly, we encourage the transfer of goods within the community. This is a highly valuable tool that can make a difference in many lives. The old adage of "one person gathers what another one spills" remains true today, and we hope you participate in this form of community engagement.  Learn more about Investing Goods.
