We
at Northeast Metro Referral Group felt a profound responsibility to
give something back to our local community. While we are a
relatively small group, we have given monetary donations to several
non-profit organizations primarily in the White Bear Lake, Minnesota
area and it's surrounding communities. We have made donations to
the following local organizations:
North East Residence - Providers of housing assistance for mental and physically disabled Minnesotans.
White Bear Lake Area Food Shelf - Providers of food staples in time of need for local residents.
The Isaiah Connection
- A local ministry that sponsors Medical Missions to people in need all
over the world. We helped provide materials and labor for 2000
hygiene kits containing simple things most of us would take for
granted. These went to families in Honduras.
Children's Brain Tumor Foundation -
We sponsored one of our members in an annual motorcycle ride to benefit
children in Minnesota suffering through treatment for brain tumors.
North East Family YMCA
- We have made donations to help provide fun activities for
underprivileged children whose families otherwise could not afford
these on their own.
Children's Vision
- This is a children's orphanage located in Bogotá Columbia. We were
able to help provide needed supplies and funds to help keep this
wonderful children's care center in operation.
US Marines in Iraq
- We felt we needed to honor the men and women of our military serving
our country in Iraq. We were able to send 150 phone cards to
allow them to call during the holiday season to at least talk to their
families and loved ones at home.
The Junior League of St. Paul - We
sponsored their Fun Run event, for which the proceeds went to support
the projects of JLSP. It s an organization of women committed to
promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving
communities through the effective action and leadership of trained
volunteers
We will continue to support and help those in need within our community.
