Join us for the GIVING WoMN Fall Meeting
On Tuesday, September 23 we will be hosted by one of our 2023 grantees, Every Third Saturday. The event begins at 6:30 pm and will end before 8:00 pm. Every Third Saturday is located at 5402 43rd Avenue S., Minneapolis, MN 55417.
Every Third Saturday (ETS) exists to assist Veterans in finding new purpose after military service. Their mission focuses on fostering hope and supporting post-traumatic growth for Veterans. We will learn about the impact of their 2023 GIVING WoMN grant.
Also joining the event will be Tabatha Barrett from DARTS. They received a grant from GIVING WoMN in 2024. DARTS recognizes the transition involved in aging. Their services empower older adults to age independently in place and support caregivers.
