The City of Minneapolis has asked those who want to help those suffering in the aftermath of Sunday’s tornado to make cash donations.
From the City of Minneapolis official Web site:
• Donate funds, not goods — The Minneapolis Foundation has established the Minnesota Helps – North Minneapolis Recovery Fund to assist with both short-term and long-term housing and recovery-related needs on the North Side. To make a donation by credit card, visit www.GiveMN.org or send checks for the recovery effort to The Minneapolis Foundation, 80 S. 8th St., Suite 800, Minneapolis, MN, 55402. People can also donate to the Red Cross at www.redcrosstc.org. Please do not donate goods at this time.
• In the coming days, volunteers will be needed — There are crews working already in the neighborhoods, but the conditions are not yet safe enough to accommodate volunteers. The City and Urban Homeworks, a local nonprofit, will be making a call to volunteers in the coming days, but at this point it is not safe to bring folks in.
The Minneapolis Jewish Federation is also accepting donations to assist in relief efforts for victims of the tornado.
•Â Donations can be made online at: www.jewishminneapolis.org
•Â Checks (payable to the Minneapolis Jewish Federation – North Minneapolis Tornado Relief Fund) can be sent to: Minneapolis Jewish Federation – North Minneapolis Tornado Relief Fund, 13100 Wayzata Blvd., Suite 200, Minnetonka, MN 55305
