$15 covers the cost of one event ticket.
One of the most unique parts of L’Arche Twin Cities is how we support and model inclusion in the greater community. We take advantage of free events and special ticket programs as much as possible, but sometimes there’s an event that we’d really love to attend and need some extra support for.
$40 covers coffee and donuts.
Our monthly Saturday gatherings always include coffee and donuts. These treats help us welcome folks and feel comfortable together as we share about our lives and connect with each other.
$75 covers Lyft or Uber roundtrip.
We encourage carpooling whenever possible, but sometimes it’s necessary to use a rideshare instead. What’s important to us is making sure our core members can get to and from any L’Arche Twin Cities event. Rideshares are a vital way to make our events accessible to core members who live all over the Twin Cities.
$165 covers the cost to have an ASL interpreter/ intervener at an event.
We want to make our events as inclusive as possible. Sometimes people’s personal care services don’t cover the costs to bring an individual interpreter/intervener to social activities. We’d like to be able to fill this gap by hiring one for more of our events.
$500 covers the cost for one community member to attend a L’Arche USA regional gathering.
An integral part of life as part of the L’Arche USA federation is connecting with other L’Arche communities at regional gatherings! At these gatherings, build relationships and renew and strengthen our sense of belonging as a larger movement for radical inclusion.
$1,000 covers 1/4 of a creative writing course with Cow Tipping Press.
Each year, we participate in a 5-week creative writing course, and it’s always a highlight. These courses explore different genres and culminate in a published chapbook of our members’ work. The book debuts at a book release party, where our published authors get on stage and share their pieces with the crowd.
L’Arche Twin Cities’ budget is made up of grants, modest DHS funding, and individual donations. It takes creativity and commitment to imagine a model of community care beyond the traditional disability services system! Whether a one-time, recurring, or legacy donation, you can take on a vital part of our work with a financial contribution. We deeply appreciate your support!
