Your return on investment: Fewer people in your community living in poverty, every day.
Get Involved
Fighting poverty is a community effort. In the Twin Cities, 1 in 4 people can’t meet their basic needs. We’ll never give up trying to fix that—and you, too, have the power to help. Join us in the fight for humankind.

Volunteer experiences are changing lives. Read about just a few of them here.

"My parents taught me to always give back in life because growing up in a refugee camp back in Kenya was a struggle for my family. They always remind me that, when we were in that tough situation back home, someone gave back to us, in order for us to come to the United States. I always carry that story and lesson in my life no matter where I go. " -
"Volunteering is a great way to teach your kids about work and about service. This is a really neat thing because the whole family can volunteer together. " -
"The best part has been the many actual volunteering experiences I’ve had, and telling the story of how fun, easy, satisfying and difference-making volunteering is–such as at The ARC Greater Twin Cities’ Clothing Sort-a-thon. "
