Thank you so much for thinking about donating to help makes things a little brighter for our friends at Minneapolis Children's Hospital. MERC will match the total donations received up to $1,000. Please consider donating by clicking here. 

As the major nonprofit, independent pediatric health care system in the state, Children’s Minnesota is being profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic – both clinically and financially. Donations to Children’s Minnesota’s Urgent Needs Fund allows them to place philanthropic support where it’s needed most, as soon as they receive the funds. Some examples of how they are using funds right now:

• Supplies to keep patients and staff safe and healthy.
• Technological support for services like telehealth to allow patients to heal from the safety of their own homes.
• Financial support for families who have a child with health needs but are also facing the reality of being out of work due to the virus.

Community and donor support are absolutely essential to ensure Children’s Minnesota remains a strong, vibrant pillar of the health care system in our region when this crisis comes to an end.

For those looking to donate much needed supplies, please find drop off information and a list of the most immediate needs here. 100% of your donation is spent on the kids and families they serve.
