Twice the Gift

Genesis II for Families has the unique opportunity to be showcased this holiday season at Twice the Gift, a retail shop in Gaviidae II - 2nd floor/Skyway Level, 555 Nicollet Mall, Suite 295 in Minneapolis.  At Twice the Gift, shoppers can select a meaningful gift for loved ones and/or business associates that will benefit others in the community.  Genesis II will be selling Frisbees and Gift Cards that represent some of our services to clients.  Twice the Gift is being underwritten by the Pohlad Family Foundation with 100% of the proceeds benefitting over 50 nonprofits participating.

Twice the Gift will be open Nov. 21, 2008 through December 31, 2008, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.  Put Twice the Gift at the top of your holiday shopping list this year!

Adopt-A-Family!

Due to financial constraints, our clients are unable to provide the type of holiday every family deserves.  You can make this year special for the individuals and families in our programs by “adopting” them for the holidays!  Each family has a wish list - contact Megan Segriff to request a Sponsor Registration Form so you can let us know how many individuals you’d like to adopt!

Adopt-A-Party!

Looking for a new and memorable way to serve this holiday season?  Grab a few friends, co-workers or family members and sign up to sponsor one of our client holiday parties!  We’re looking for sponsors to provide a hearty meal for around 10-20 people; bring a craft, game, or activity; and be helper elves - help us pass out the Adopt-A-Family gifts!  Program parties are scheduled for various times (day and evening) during the week of December 15.  Email Megan Segriff for more details!
