Your donation to our Client Emergency Needs Fund is a safety net that provides critical assistance for clients who are in financial need. Recently when a new Transition Lodge client’s first paycheck did not cover her rent and lodge fees, the CENF helped pay her overdraft fee and remaining lodge fee, which covers food and other daily living expenses at the lodge.

Your support today helps our clients weather the pandemic without setbacks to their mental health recovery. Your continued support ensures help is there whenever needed.

As part of the #SpringForwardMN giving event, please consider giving to this critical fund. Each gift of $5 or more made directly online today through May 11 gives us a chance to win a bonus grant. Your $5 donation could turn into $1,000! Donate today at: https://www.givemn.org/story/Yrsk9g ... See MoreSee Less

Did you know that our Employment & Skills Training Fund helps us sustain and grow our vocational paid-training and supported employment opportunities? This fund allows us to help individuals get back to work with the support they need. Employment provides people with mental illness the self-sufficiency, skills, and self-esteem they need to live full lives. That’s why employment and work is vital to our approach to supporting people’s health and wellness.

Take a listen to a series of flash memoir pieces read out loud by their authors, all Tasks clients!

COMPAS Teaching Artist Glenda Reed led a “Flash” Memoir writing residency last fall to Tasks clients through virtual Zoom classes. Flash memoirs are true-life personal short stories that give us a look into the writer’s life. Get to know some of our clients by listening here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5eMQkGgXvU

Many thanks to COMPAS Teaching Artist and writer Glenda Reed for producing and mixing the podcast!

“Flash” memoir was provided in partnership with the arts organization COMPAS and funded through the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council. We are excited to continue offering virtual art classes in partnership with COMPAS in the coming weeks.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks to a major grant from Medica4Me Tasks Unlimited is embarking on a project to expand our capacity to provide virtual mental health services and address the barriers many clients have to using technology. Funding will allow us to purchase equipment and training services. COVID-19 has only hastened the shift of communication and resources online, and increased the barriers for those lacking computers or skill in using them. This project will address inequity and isolation, and open up health and other resources for people living with mental illness. Thank you, Medica Foundation! ... See MoreSee Less
