RECLAIM was scheduled to hold our annual open house today on Wednesday, October 23. RECLAIM is currently in the hiring process for our next clinical director. As we want to introduce our new clinical director to the RECLAIM community, we are postponing the Open House until spring. 

Interested in getting to know RECLAIM and volunteering with us? Join us at our new monthly volunteer orientation & meeting to get started. This meeting is 30 minutes long on the second Thursday of each month from 5:30 to 6:00 PM.

We'll go over the basics about RECLAIM to prepare you to volunteer. We'll then review upcoming community events, specific projects, and ongoing volunteer commitments you may be interested in.

Our Give to the Max Day campaign

We have our most ambitious Give to the Max Day goal yet - to raise $30,000 to support financially accessible mental health care for queer and trans youth. Community support makes this resource available statewide for youth. Give to the Max Day is November 21, but early giving opens on our GiveMN page on November 1.

RECLAIM's annual Celebrate the Love gala will take place on Saturday, February 15, 2025 at McNamara Alumni Center in Minneapolis. The event will feature games and activities, a silent auction, delicious brunch, and an exciting program! Save the date and stay tuned for information about tickets, sponsorship opportunities, and ways to get involved.

The silent auction is one of the centerpieces of Celebrate the Love. It's never too early to start thinking about donating an item or service to the silent auction!

Last week, WCCO (CBS Minnesota, Channel 4) profiled RECLAIM with this segment by Adam Del Rosso:
