Hennepin County just announced that December 11 at 4:00 pm is the deadline to apply for COVID Emergency Rent/Mortgage Assistance.
 
These funds go away if they are not used and there is money still available. We know many families are behind in housing payments and it is important to get the word out about these funds before any eviction moratorium is lifted.
 
Any help you can give to share this information would be appreciated!
 
More information about eligibility and the application can be found here: Hennepin County COVID Emergency Housing Assistance 
Who is eligible?
You may qualify for money to help cover your housing costs if you:
  • Live in Hennepin County
  • Have current household income at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Guideline (about $65,160 for a family of three)
  • Lost income due to COVID-19
  • Have past due housing costs or can't afford your housing costs this month

Would you like to help give scholarships to Roosevelt students and grants to staff without it costing you a penny? Do you ever shop at Amazon?  

Instead of going to amazon.com, go to smile.amazon.com. Register and select Minneapolis Theodore Roosevelt High School Foundation as your charity. Each time you shop at smile.amazon the Foundation will receive a small percentage of your purchase.

You just have to remember to go to smile.amazon.com instead of Amazon…..same merchandise, same prices, same service. Thank YOU!

20 hours of Service
Per year is expected of every student, every year. 
Shovel at your house or your neighbor.
Walk around for an hour in your neighborhood and pick up trash. Remember to wear gloves and BE CAREFUL.
Do a household chore that isn't expected.

Check out these websites to come up with another idea.
  1. https://www.volunteermatch.org/search?l=Minneapolis%2C+MN%2C+USA
(You can search by word, so if you are looking for an "art" based volunteering opportunity, or a "children" based opportunity, "senior citizen", etc.


If you have questions before that, please email Christol.Schultz@mpls.k12.mn.us.

If your student is doing their hours OUTSIDE of the school, please have them send in a paper that is signed, dated and phone number listed for the organization or person that they helped.
