Change Starts With Me. Tee

#ChangeStartsWithMe is a grass-roots movement of personal accountability. We are a self-driven ecosystem of family, friends, neighbors, and businesses that seek unity through action.

1.Supplying Food & Essentials

Our goal is to assist families in Minnesota with specific needs resulting from recent social, health and economic crises.

• Hosting Donation Drives to provide food and essentials to community members that have been affected.
• Providing medical and pharmaceutical supplies to those in need.

2.Rebuilding Our Communities

Many of our neighborhood businesses and landmarks have been damaged or destroyed in recent events. We aim to help restore and provide relief to our communities.

• Financial and emotional support for families and community members in need.
• Assistance to small business owners in the form of grants and mentorship.
• Deploying volunteers to help restore and rebuild our neighborhoods.

3.Spreading Awareness & Advocating for Equality

Providing immediate relief is necessary to help families and community members that need our help during this time. However, we are not aiming to provide temporary relief. We must understand there is a deeper problem that exists in our country and needs to be eliminated before we can all be united as one.

• Scholarships and grants to eliminate racial inequities in our education systems.
• Listening and learning events to understand the needs that exist within our community.

#ChangeStartsWithMe. Anyone and everyone can get involved, listen, learn, pray and serve in some way.
