Izzy’s 13 Days of Giving
Who isn’t in love with Izzy’s? They have become a neighborhood institution and an integral part of hot summer days in the Mill District, with long lines snaking around the building. However, did you know that Izzy’s gives back to the neighborhood in substantive ways?
This is the fourth year Izzy’s is hosting their February event, 13 Days of Giving. Izzy’s makes their delicious ice cream work to help great causes by teaming up with a diverse group of organizations that are bettering our communities in the Twin Cities and beyond.
A portion of each day’s proceeds will be given to a different organization, and Izzy’s will give out information on the important work they’re doing.
The list of organizations is as follows:
February 1st – Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness
February 2nd – Love Your Melon
February 3rd – The BrandLab
February 4th (Minneapolis) – Minneapolis Recreation Development
February 4th (St. Paul) – Make-a-Wish Minnesota
February 5th (Minneapolis) – Children’s Theatre Company
February 5th (St. Paul) – Art Shanty Projects
February 6th – Way to Grow
February 7th – Jacob Wetterling Resource Center
February 8th – Roots for the Home Team
February 9th – Mixed Blood Theatre
February 10th – House of Charity
February 11th (Minneapolis) – Guthrie Theater Foundation
February 11th (St. Paul) – MN National Organization for Women
February 12th (Minneapolis) – Friends of the Mill District
February 12th (St. Paul) – Second Harvest Heartland
February 13th – Minnesota Environmental Partnership
I hope you noticed February 12th! Friends of the Mill District is in the center of our neighborhood and sponsoring events such as the Friends of the Mill District Singers, Yoga in the Park, and a newly proposed acting troupe of teens from the neighborhood. We need your help and appreciate all the ice cream you would eat...for a great cause. It’s a win-win-win choice. Support a neighborhood business, help a worthwhile neighborhood charity, and eat wonderful ice cream.
