Avivo Give to the Max Day Fundraiser!

This year I'm support Avivo, an organization seen in the news for the success of their tiny home shelter, Avivo Village – but they do so much more to support the most vulnerable in our communities. 

Avivo provides a treatment program with lodging. They provide mental health supports. They provide career education and career advancement. They provide shelter, housing, and housing supports. Avivo is unique – they're the only organization to offer this continuum of services designed to help individuals and families transform their lives – and it’s working! But they can't do it alone. They need our help. Join me in supporting Avivo this Give to the Max Day!

Avivo serves nearly 10,000 individuals each year; helping them reach recovery, find housing stability, and achieve employment and economic advancement. Serving Minnesota since 1960, Avivo specializes in helping individuals and families who face complex barriers – poverty, homelessness, unemployment, chemical addiction or mental health concerns – achieve recovery and economic stability. Avivo’s holistic approach to providing chemical and mental health services, career education, and employment services embraces each person’s unique journey. Ultimately, our paired services lay a foundation of health, and social and economic wellness, that transforms lives.

Give to the Max Day comes at a time when winter is closing in fast and many folks are living on the streets, unprotected from the elements. It is also national Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week, making it a good time to bring attention to one of Avivo's newest and most innovative programs, Avivo Village, and its Street Outreach Team.
