Vista 44 is now open, and residents will begin moving in the first week of July. UUCM members are now invited to bring any future donations directly to Vista 44 in Hopkins during their operating hours. Donations will no longer be stored at UUCM as residents need them now. Thank you to everyone who has already dropped items off at UUCM – it helped tremendously while Vista 44 was still under construction. All of the donations have already been moved to Vista 44 and placed in units. If you would like to see what items are still needed to help additional families move in, a list of needed supplies is listed here. Supplies will continue to be needed and accepted at Vista 44. Please contact Sue Fust with questions.

The Ridwell Featured Item for 7/15 is kid’s clothes & shoes. You can help make Ridwell successful by following some simple steps: 

• Please make sure bags are clean and dry—no crumbs or dirt.
• Please SORT plastic—multilayer category is anything crinkly or netting, the film category is anything you can punch your thumb through, including bubble wrap. 
• Please bag all items in plastic bags—there are extras in the bins.
• Sue and Kathy would love a phone call if you are unsure your item is appropriate for Ridwell. Sue: 612-703-2297, Kathy: 612-590- 9606
