We have volunteered in a variety of roles for Chum over many years. Our favorite event is the Rhubarb Festival - making food, scooping ice cream, creating art with rhubarb leaves, etc. This year we are hosting a table at the Chum 50th Anniversary Golden Gala.
Join Us at the Gala
The Gala is Tuesday, October 17 at the Duluth Entertainment & Convention Center (DECC). The Gala fundraising goal is $200,000 to support Chum programming. Tickets are $100 and may be purchased on Chum’s website: https://www.tfaforms.com/5075456 or contact me. The evening will include a cash bar, gourmet dinner, live and silent auction, inspiring stories, an opportunity to make a donation, and an awards ceremony. You must register by September 30 to receive a free parking pass.
Make a Donation
Even if you cannot make it to the Gala, we still need your help to fight the rising number of people experiencing homelessness in Duluth. Even just $20 provides someone a night of shelter. Maybe you could commit to a $50/month donation. By the end of the year, that money would provide someone with shelter accommodations for almost a month, dry socks or mittens to 300 people living outside, or 1,800 meals.
Everyone in our city and region is thinking about the rising numbers of people experiencing homelessness and what to do about it. We think the answer is here. By supporting Chum, you are making a huge impact on the people in this city. We need your help! Thank you!
