SLEEP OUT CAMPAIGN HITS $2.3M GOAL

Hip hip hooray, you did it! $2.3 million was the largest Sleep Out goal we ever set, and you stepped up to the challenge. You moved local families, our friends and neighbors, closer to their dreams. You showed us once again what this "all-in" community campaign means and takes, and how much it requires of all of you - your financial support and your commitment to the vision we share. It is with unending gratitude that we thank you for staying with us. We are inspired by each and every one of you.
 
From all of us and the 2,000 families - more than 6,000 people - we work with each year, we THANK YOU!

MN Vikings Laquon Treadwell visit



"BEST DAY EVER" AT HOMEWORK CLUB

Kids in the Homework Club at Interfaith Outreach's Neighborhood Program got a big surprise visit from Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell! Laquon hosted a pizza party for the kids and gave them each an autographed football card and a wrapped gift. He also presented a check for a generous contribution to the Homework Club, which counted toward Interfaith Outreach's overall Sleep Out campaign goal.

Check out a heartwarming video from CCX Media.
