I'd love to donate to some small local orgs on the ground if you have any suggestions :)

You bet! Here are some that I know are well established on the ground here:

https://neighborhoodhousemn.org

https://keystoneservices.org/about/

https://my.cheddarup.com/c/support-our-highland-park-middle-school-community/items (this one is associated with my child's school and I know first hand they are doing good work and have built out a strong network for helping families with rent support, grocery delivery, laundry, etc. I'm volunteering through them)

I'm so sorry I forgot to reply. Tossed some cash at the last link, thank you for doing this crucial work.

Thanks for the stupid Canadian wolf bird up top! Love it. I've had Spotify's HR playlist on the Sonos as I've been working through my emails this morning. I've made a friend through HR Threads and at the moment I'm alpha reading her debut novel! I love this fandom.

Also: sending all the love to Minnesota!

Continued love and prayers for Minnesota from Indiana. Also I definitely need to try that hot dog sometime! 🌭

Saw that wolf bird immediately! Been holding Minnesota close in my heart these days. Sending money and strength from Maryland (who wants to be MN’s sibling I think).

We'll take the love and support, so thank you!

We love you, Minnesota! Also, I see that stupid Canadian wolf bird at the top of your post. 👀🏒

Loons are sincerely one of my favorite birds so part of me is tickled by the stupid Canadian wolf bird content and part of me wants to defend their honor. The sound of a loon over a lake? I love it so much.

I also love loons. In college, I worked summers at a lake resort in the Adirondacks and it was the first time I ever saw/heard loons. ❤️
