Organization: Open Arms of Minnesota

Our program is unique. Open Arms is the only nonprofit organization in Minnesota that prepares and delivers free meals specifically tailored to meet the nutrition needs of individuals living with serious and life-threatening diseases. And we don’t just serve the person who is ill. We deliver meals to anyone in a household affected by disease, including caregivers and dependent children. Our volunteer network of nearly 1,500 people helps prepare meals in our kitchen seven days a week, and provides meal deliveries throughout the Twin Cities area.
