“Reconnecting with Twin Cities Rise has been a great experience!!! The staff are so wonderful and knowledgeable. They are always willing to assist. They are absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend this organization to anyone needing assistance with job and career readiness training.”
“Originally scheduled a stained glass class but had the wrong date. They were SO helpful, and so understanding and helped me reschedule without an extra cost, which was so kind of them! The class itself was so informative and fun. Our instructor Sarah was incredibly helpful and made the experience a great one. Loved every minute of the class and will definitely be coming back! Would recommend the class to anyone!”

“Such a peaceful & calm place to visit. The staff are very kind and welcoming. The kaffebar has good options for food and drinks. Highly recommend visiting the Norway House!”

“Always a great morning at the Alliance Française Petit Déj!”
The first Saturday of every month is such a treat — a lovely light breakfast, great conversation, and the perfect chance to meet new friends and practice your French. The atmosphere is always warm, welcoming, and full of good vibes. A wonderful way to start the weekend! ??☕?”
“Open arms has been amazing to work with. My dad receives their meals during the week. He says they are so fresh and full of flavor. And it’s a different variety every week. It just makes me feel so good that I know he’s getting healthy nutritious meals that he can warm up.”
“the front desk staff is such a great help for all your needs. the classroom teachers are so nurturing to all the kids in the the class. even the teachers just in the hallways are always pleasant and polite and willing to help. They are all so delightful and we look forward to going every week ❤️”
“Today we had the privilege of volunteering with Harvest Pack, as an activity at the volunteer program for pro-baseball. As a family member we couldn't miss this opportunity to help, even for my 7 year old daughter, it was an incredibly rewarding experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was full of energy and purpose. Together, we packaged thousands of nutritious meals that will make a real difference for families facing hunger.
What stood out most was how well-organized and hands-on the event was—everyone had a role, and it was inspiring to see the players and staff from all walks of life come together for such an important cause. In just a few hours, we achieved something that will impact entire communities.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give back, I highly encourage you to get involved with Harvest Pack. Whether you volunteer your time, donate, or help organize a packing event, you’ll be directly contributing to fighting food insecurity. It’s a chance to connect with others, build teamwork, and know your efforts truly matter.”
“Employees were extremely helpful and professional. They helped me pick out a bike that was the right size & style for me, and then guided me through which attachments I wanted and how to install them! Plus a price that can't be beat!”
“What a cool place- I went to one of the monthly free repair drop ins. Everyone was welcoming and they explained how to fix up the childhood cutting board I had made. Thanks!”
“The WBL food shelf is the best one I know of. The people, service are outstanding. Good selection and quality food. Breads are pretty scarce at the car service location. Better luck getting bread at the community market food shelf location. Which also has great people and quality food.”
“I took the day and volunteered at Every Meal. I and about 60 other people packed food products for children in school. Most of these children
could then take these food products home so their parents could create delicious meals and make lunches for the children to take to school every day. Many children find it hard to learn when dealing with hunger.
That's where the Every Meal company comes to the rescue.Volunteering at Every Meal is a rewarding experience. We formed an asset line to pack bags for two hours. Also, Every Meal personnel gives a great orientation class before the work begins. I enjoyed my day at Every Meal.”
“I recently had the opportunity to take the Power Tools 101 course with Meena and had a great experience! The course taught the fundamentals of planning out a project as well as safety precautions when using woodworking power tools (joiner, table saw, router, jig saw, miter saw, etc.). Meena was amazing and created a very supportive and calm environment for the class which was greatly appreciated.
Additionally, the organization was very accommodating for those with limited mobility and make it a priority to provide access to woodworking for all. For reference, upon registering for a course they offer an opportunity for you to outline any potential areas of accomodation.
I have already registered for another course and look forward to returning!”

“Depending on what you're looking for, you can find a variety of things. Mostly items that are left behind by students at the end of the school year or semester. furniture clothes etc”
“This place absolutely ROCKS!
You just never know what you might find as their inventory changes all the time (so go as.often as you can if you're setting up your household!).
What you can ALWAYS count on? GREAT PRICES on whatever you need and stuff you didn't know you needed until you saw it ~ and spent way too much time goofing around with your friends TRYING to figure out what it is!
Almost like A man... Only much more focused ! Lol
Truly, well worth a look, well worth the trip no matter how far you must travel.
And no. I am neither a bot nor paid to review.
I just really like both the logic of the place... Reclamation of old homes vs landfilling them. And the pricing
And the exploring to see and find things I don't recognize!
I learn so much!”

Aside from regular fun events and meetups, they also host the enormous Twin Cities VegFest (typically held in September) and organize the Vegan Chef Challenge, which gets restaurants to be creative about adding vegan options. The Twin Cities and Minnesota are fortunate to have CAA thriving and advocating!”

“Helped us to pick the best Medicare advantage program for us based on our medications and needs for specialized medical care. They also helped us compare our retiree plans at work with those plans available in Minnesota. FInally, helped us to ask good questions based on our needs. We called the office and set up an appointment to meet with a expert advisor. There is no cost for this and they gave us an excellent booklet of all the Medicare plans available in Minnesota. We’ve also called from time to time with specific questions - excellent help each time.”
