At Open Your Heart, we are grateful to our Minnesota emergency shelter and food shelf employees and volunteers who are working tirelessly, and at the risk of their own health, to ensure that our most vulnerable populations are not forgotten during this crisis. The following resources have been collected from multiple channels in an effort to help alleviate some stress to these agencies as they search for much needed resources.
