“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.”
“I was introduced to Twin Cities Rise through LiUNA and Im more than grateful for it
The team truly loves what they do - their passion, knowledge and excitement for helping participants, like myself, achieve whatever career goal is set. From start to finish, Ive felt supported, empowered and ready for me to start my new career. A special thanks to Jason for teaching our class - he was respectful, engaging and shared his expertise in a way that made it easier for me to grasp. Thanks to everyone!”
“We had a terrific birthday party for my dad here in March 2026. Couldn’t say enough nice things about the Norway House staff, in particular Inger-Lise, who were all very communicative and friendly. The caterer they recommended was FANTASTIC, and the venue is just gorgeous! Ample parking, great spaces and beautiful design. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough for any event!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“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! ??☕?”
“Everything about this is amazing - aside from finding the entrance! Finding the hidden alley and entrance was a little confusing, as Maps tried to send us into the garage of the tire shop next door.
Access to all of these tools for the community for a nominal fee is amazing. I love living in this city where we all take care of our neighbors!”
“Awesome music experiences for my kids. Great teachers, kind and helpful support staff. We have taken private lessons and done summer camps - both were great experiences.”
“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!”
“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!”
“First time volunteering, and it was wonderful. I volunteer with a few other organizations closing the gap on food insecurity in Minnesota. I love being able to help get more food out into the community, everyone deserves a full belly.”
“Here to attend a medical seminar. Table seating in main area with breakouts to many rooms to listen to a special speaker on subject. Main room stage to listen to main speaker and eat. The natural light coming thru beautiful windows. Racks to hang coats. Told there was over 300 people. Bathroom never became over whelmed.?Lucky to have valet parking as it would have been hard to park in other areas for us.”
“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!”
“Big shout out to Glenn today for helping me, my wife, and our team get to where we needed to be today. Much appreciated sir. We need more helpful people like you assisting through the Minneapolis Skyway maze!”
“Orgins is a wonderful organization that empowers teachers to be their best, with real (tested) classroom techniques. I encourage all teachers to participate in their training!”
“That fish fry was some of the best fish I've ever eaten, wish I could find it during the rest of the year. The people were really nice and our toddler ate free!”
“It was my first job after completing college in 1969. I was the Family Service Worker. I enjoyed my years there. I pray it is just as great for the community now as it was then.”
“Had a very bad car accident, 8 car pile up on 35w.
Brought in my Dusty Boy to make sure he is alright.
They are very caring and loving with my boy.
He received the best care and will make a full recovery.
Thank you to all the staff for all you have done for my babies over the years.
Only place I will bring them!”
“CAA has been advocating for animals since 1998. 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!”
“Brilliant classes with equally brilliant and creative classes. I’ve gone from thinking about a book idea to actually creating it thanks to the common sense and creative approach that exists here. I’m more than a little enthusiastic about the mission of The Loft.”
“As a student nearby, I love this place!! Super cute clothing and jewlery. Everything is very affordable. I love my punch card & student discount. The only things are to 1) plan ahead, they don't have extensive hours and 2) don't be afraid to holler for the staff when needed, since they usually stay in the back room!”
“Highly recommend PPL for employment help, career training, and even housing resources. There is a lot of different help available and the staff are always very helpful and supportive. Their programs truly make a difference.”
“My family has been going many years off on It’s been truly a blessing Salvation Army noble parkway area we have been in a lot of cross roads and we Ate grateful for the staff support that n so many areas and I felt really heavy in spirit because area of live in is worst I ask sergeant Charles for prayers and he did and I feel God heard our prayers and I felt relief spiritually May this service be blessed from Ogunniran family ???”
“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”
“The childcare program is amazing! Still hearing my son say, “I miss my teachers”! Which
Urges me to say, how much we appreciate the love shown to my son”

“Father's day open house is always a nice time with the granddaughter. Static displays of old war birds and other aircraft, fire trucks, ambulance, bouncy toys, snow equipment, plane or helicopter rides, waffle breakfast had a line hundreds of people long.”
“Staff are appreciative of donations of clothes and household items for the center. On one occasion several men who were waiting to enter for services helped me to unload things and thanked me for donating. I like donating at Marie Sandvik’s, because unlike Good Will the CEO does not make a huge salary.”
“I was a sophomore in college when I was invited over to the house by a brother named Allen Saakyan. I had only been to two other fraternities on campus and the social events that I had previously attended didn't leave me with a memorable experience. I believe I attended the halloween party and I must say, the event was well coordinated. Walking up to the house, there are a bunch of people on the porch having a blast (very welcoming) as well as a security table outside the front door. There were some fine ladies present (and boy do I wish I took one home). Inside the house they had water readily available for anyone and overall I just felt very welcomed and accepted as a guest and not another party-kid strolling through the house. Thank you Alpha Delta Phi Minnesota for leaving me with a great social experience!”
“I love Giant Valley Amercian Legion #234! I enjoy hanging out for some pizza and a beer with my favorite bartender Mark, but my favorite times are when Form Entertainment host an event.”
“This organization truly cares about the community—and their food is incredible! It's inspiring to see a group so dedicated to building support and giving back. The staff is passionate about guiding the youth, and their programs reflect the organization’s strong values. From community gardens to delicious meals, they’re making a real impact every week. It has been a pleasure working with them over the last few years!”
“I love how inviting of me everyone was the day I spoke to them. The CEO of the organization that sponsors me took me along with a member of his staff, and we had a blast. Hope to meet some of them again some day.”
“My son (11) and I have taken several glass classes here and loved them. Most recently, we took a marble-making class with Wynston. He is an excellent teacher, explaining and demonstrating each skill that leads up to making the marble and giving plenty of time and support to practice each skill before moving on to the next. Everything you need is provided, and glass is such an interesting and fun medium to work with. They also have a gallery space showcasing a wide variety of incredible glass works, many for sale, from small ornaments to large sculptural pieces.”
