A Sweet and Hoppy New Year
Posted on Jan 16 2019
Dulceria Bakery’s sweet support of the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota (ILCM) brought us through December and into the new year. Dulceria Bakery, a woman-owned, person-of-color owned, immigrant-owned small business in South Minneapolis, describes its business model as “being intentional about not-gendering people, recognizing multiculturalism as an asset, partnering with local, immigrant, BIPOC and LGBTQIA vendors and entrepreneurs, together as a comunidad…and baking the best pastries with a Mexican twist!” Dulceria Bakery supported ILCM with a donation of 10 percent of their holiday sales. ¡Mil gracias!
Thank you, also to Fair State Brewing Cooperative for choosing ILCM as their nonprofit partner for January through the Fair State Cooperates Program! Throughout the month, 10 percent of all Crowler sales will go towards supporting ILCM’s work in the community. Stop by Fair State sometime in January and support ILCM!
The annual Give To The Max Day in November brought in more than $22,000 from about 270 donors—thank you! Thanks also for your generous response to our year-end appeal, with more than $60,000 in donations.
We appreciate the small business support and imagination, and the ways that you continue to find to support our work. One friend posted on Facebook that he supports us through Amazon Smile. If you shop through Amazon, that’s a painless way to get a corporation to donate to ILCM, and the pennies per purchase can add up to make a difference.
We continue to be grateful for all of your support. You know we face major challenges as immigration policies become more restrictive and punitive. We will always stand with immigrants and refugees, and your support makes our work possible.
