Federal Infrastructure Package |
|
Minnesota’s Public Transit systems across the state is poised to get over $850 million. It's still unclear whether the federal infrastructure package will be able to pass in the House, but the opportunity of millions investing in the local transit agencies is a rare bit of good news after the COVID-19 pandemic decimated public transportation ridership.
Nuria Fernandez, administrator of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), during a visit Tuesday to the Twin Cities stated that this is the most significant investment for transit over the next five years and will transform our regional transit network.

MRCI’s Community-Based Day Service Program |
|
MRCI’s Community-Based Day Service Program provides opportunities for adults with disabilities to get involved with their communities and create meaningful experiences through person-centered activities and volunteer opportunities. Participants have enjoyed helping at animal shelters, thrift stores, Little Free Libraries, taking tours of local businesses, and getting to know the community. They have also met with local law enforcement, participated in cooking classes, visited museums, zoos, outdoor events, and so much more.
Community involvement is integral to the program’s success. We can’t do it without you! Here’s how you can help:
- Volunteer your time and share your passion or hobby with a small group of adults
- Donate space
Part of being an active member in the community is creating meaningful connections with others. MRCI is looking for community members and businesses willing to share their time and passion or hobby with some individuals in this program. We’re always excited to meet new people and try something new! While we’ve been fortunate to take advantage of the lovely summer weather by utilizing parks and outdoor public spaces, winter is coming. MRCI and the individuals we serve would truly appreciate any space, such as conference rooms, kitchens, spare rooms, etc., that could be donated for these community groups to use in the coming months. As a nonprofit, any space that is normally charged a fee for its use that is donated to us is considered a tax write off for the business. We look forward to seeing and meeting you all!

Calling All Mentors!
A new school year means another opportunity to mentor the students in Two Rivers High School's 9th Grade Warrior Seminar Program. Share the story of your career--where you began and how you arrived where you are now. Then support students as they learn the skills to land that first job, and then how to leverage that experience into long-term success.
Given concerns about COVID and its delta variant, as well as recognizing the convenience of video conferencing, one of the structures being considered for mentoring is the ability for mentors to connect with students virtually, via video conference. You can make this selection via the link below.
Mentoring dates this fall are:
Friday, 9/24
Wednesday, 10/20
Monday, 11/22
Friday, 1/14
Mentors will be matched with 5-6 students, so we need mentors to be at all 4 sessions.
Interested in Mentoring? Sign up here by September 10, 2021.
