Theresa Living Center celebrated its 30th anniversary at the fourth annual fundraising breakfast on October 30th at the Midland Hills Country Club. We raised more than $60,000, which enabled us to access two matching grants from the Katherine B. Andersen Fund of The Saint Paul Foundation ($25,000) and members of the Theresa Living Center Board of Directors ($30,000), giving us a total of over $100,000 raised! Thank you so much to all who attended and supported the event.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our friends & family picnic on August 9! More that 160 people attended—and we had perfect weather, too! Thanks to all our volunteers and staff who helped make it such a success, and to Mark Nelson for photographing it for us! Also thanks to musician Devlan Sheahan, and face-painters Rachel Pastick and Nick Malm. So great to see you all there!

We have so many blessings to count this year. Thanks to the generosity of donors at our October breakfast, we raised more than $65,000—nearly doubling what we raised the previous year. Italso meant we were able to receive a wonderful challenge grant of $25,000 given by the Katherine B. Andersen Fund of The Saint Paul Foundation. We also received a generous gift of $10,000 from the Joan and Bruce Richard Family Foundation. When we think back just two years ago—when we were thinking about having to close our doors—it’s truly a humbling moment!

Mark your calendars for our third annual fundraising breakfast!

We’d love to have you join us to learn more about how we help women and single-parent families move from homelessness to hope and self-sufficiency. It’s a great way to start your day and includes music, fellowship, and inspiration.

Our second annual Step Up! Fundraiser on October 26, 2016, was a smashing success—we raised more than $20,000 over our goal and received a matching challenge grant of $25,000, generously given by the Katherine B. Andersen Fund of The Saint Paul Foundation, which also underwrote the cost of the event. The breakfast was held at the Midland Hills Country Club in Roseville and featured keynote speaker Chris Coleman, Mayor of Saint Paul, and client speakers who talked about how Theresa Living Center helped them find stability and hope after a period of homelessness. Our deepest thanks to all who attended and gave a gift in support of our mission!

Our Second Annual "Step Up!" Fundraising Breakfast will be held on Wednesday, October 26, 7:30-8:30 AM at the Midland Hills Country Club in Roseville. Registration will start at 7:00 AM. We'll announce further details here soon—but watch your mailbox for our save-the-date postcard!

Theresa Living Center celebrated the thirteen new graduates who completed their programs this spring with a ceremony and buffet supper for graduates, their families, supporters, and TLC volunteers and friends. The event, held on May 18, 2015, at the St. Casmir’s School Hall next door, featured guest speaker Dr. Marcia Wyatt, an educator and theologian who specializes in working with children and families challenged by the traditional academic process. Two current program participants also provided their thoughts on shaping the future for success. Graduates have completed a two-year program of rebuilding their self-sufficiency at Theresa Living Center, and now are living independently in their own homes. Congratulations to all of our 2015 graduates, and thanks to all of our volunteers and supporters for helping to make their success possible!

Theresa Living Center is thrilled to be the first recipient of Power of 100 Southwest's first charitable donation as part of their effort to support local nonprofits here in the Twin Cities. Power of 100 Southwest is a cooperative movement of individual members (or teams of members) who give $100 on a quarterly basis to a nonprofit nominated and selected by members on a quarterly basis. The group came to Theresa Living Center to present the check to Executive Director Lucy Zanders on May 18, 2015. Thank you so much to Power of 100 Southwest for recognizing us with such a wonderful gift—one that's certain to lift up our graduates and help them to be the leaders of the future, too!
