Foothold Twin Cities is a non-profit organization founded and operated by Minneapolis locals.
100% of cash donations are used to pay bills for families.
Richfield Families:
Foothold has graciously agreed to work with our community specifically to support our neighbors in need. Donations that come in labeled "Richfield Families" will be earmarked only for referrals that are sent to them by trusted members of our community (i.e. school social workers, community outreach workers etc).
Donations will be used primarily for rental assistance.
The link below is where you will find three options for making donations (Venmo, Credit Card or Paypal): *Venmo and Credit Card are preferred
*If using credit card one more step is needed. Please send an email to footholdtwincities@gmail.com. Email needs to designate the amount donated and that it should be delegated to Richfield Families.
