Rochester, MN Non-Profits

We have quite a few non-profits here in Rochester, Minnesota, and lots of big-hearted people who use their time and money to help these organizations out. While we should obviously support non-profits all the time, today is an especially good day to lend a helping hand or donate a few extra bucks because it’s National Giving Hearts Day. It's a day dedicated to encouraging people to donate to their favorite charity.

With so many non-profits in the area it’s impossible to help them all, so if you’re wanting to help out monetarily or with your time (or both!) find one or a few that fit with something you’re passionate about. For example, I’m passionate about animals so I volunteer at Paws and Claws Humane Society. Here are just a few of the amazing non-profits in our area that you can help out.
