You can
be a part of our virtual or in-person December 17 drop-off event to help provide
a good night's rest to kids who need it!
Imagine sleeping on
a hard, cold floor each night. Unfortunately, that is the reality for far too many
children in our community. For a child, a bed is more than a piece of furniture. It’s a
place to bounce, to launch superhero flights, and ultimately a comfortable place
to snuggle under the covers for a good night’s rest. Adequate sleep directly
impacts kids’ physical and mental health and enhances a
child's focus and learning at school. Children also benefit from having a
place to call their own; it increases their responsibility and independence.
You can be a part of providing a comfortable bed to kids
who need them! The Civil Litigation Section is committed to finding ways in
which it can serve others and we are partnering with My Very Own
Bed
, a
local non-profit that provides new beds and linens to children in families who
have recently moved out of homelessness into more stable housing in the Twin
Cities.
Two Ways to Serve:

the law firm
