Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2025 Help At Your Door Gala—our largest fundraising event of the year—held at The Brookview in Golden Valley, Minnesota. It was a memorable evening filled with generosity, connection, and community spirit, all in support of older adults and individuals with disabilities across the seven-county Twin Cities metro area.
Throughout the event, guests had the opportunity to hear powerful stories and connect with others who share a passion for making aging a positive experience. The gala also offered many meaningful ways to support our mission—from conversations that sparked connection to generous contributions that will make a lasting impact in the lives of those we serve.
A special highlight of the evening was a moving speech from our Board Chair, Jason Grom. In it, he shared insights on Help At Your Door’s vital work and the importance of supporting our aging neighbors. Those who couldn’t attend—or want to revisit his message—can view the video below.
With over 67% of the people we serve living alone and 74% living at or below federal poverty levels, your donations are not just appreciated—they are essential. Funds raised from the gala will directly support grocery assistance, transportation, and home support services, helping older adults maintain their independence and continue living in their homes.
We also extend our deepest gratitude to our generous sponsors, Ameriprise Financial: Next Stage Financial Group, Allianz and Cargill, whose valued partnership was instrumental in the success of the evening.
To all who attended, donated, or supported in any way: thank you. Your commitment is helping us build a community where aging is embraced with respect and compassion.
We can’t wait to see you at our next gala!
