2022 Annual Conference Social Cause – Open Arms of Minnesota


Open Arms of Minnesota

As part of our social awareness cause, look for ways to support Open Arms of Minnesota throughout the conference and beyond!

About Open Arms of Minnesota:
It’s a simple notion: people who are sick should not be without food.  Yet, every day, our neighbors with life-threatening illnesses find themselves unable to shop or cook – and, often, without the support network to help.

That’s where we come in.  Open Arms of Minnesota is a nonprofit organization that prepares and delivers nourishing meals free of charge to critically ill Minnesotans and their families.  Our registered dietitians and in-house chefs create delicious, medically tailored menus using fresh and organic ingredients whenever possible.  Through the support of a loving community of donors and volunteers, we harvest, cook, and deliver nutritious, made-from-scratch meals directly to our clients.

At Open Arms, we believe that food is medicine, and there’s always room for one more at our table.
