ABOUT
In a single night nearly 8,000 Minnesotans experience homelessness.
Homelessness affects families and people of all ages,
genders, and races.
Nearly 40% of them are women and children.
This population needs our help!
Each person deserves an opportunity to feel important and loved. But, imagine living on the street, on your own. Your few material possessions could vanish in a moment. You are ignored and judged by many.
Where do you turn?
Coated In Love is a 501(c)3 charitable organization with 100% proceeds going to our mission of providing hope, help and resources to
people experiencing homelessness
and to all who are in need.
Our one-day event — 3000 Acts of Kindness — brings our mission into action. This is a place where all those experiencing homelessness are personally invited to come and receive
material needs, but more importantly,
to be truly seen, known, and loved.
This all-volunteer event, promoted by word of mouth, served 900 guests in its first year. The next year, the numbers grew to nearly 3,000 guests, supported by 500 volunteers. These numbers are expected to continue to grow.
The camaraderie, with opportunities to reflect in a safe warm space or simply talk to someone and feel seen and loved, is a welcome respite for those living on the streets.
“There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.”
