Lift Us Up!

​Dakota Woodlands needs your help!  We have embarked on a challenge that requires an outreach of support.  An unexpected elevator repair with an exorbitant price tag has impacted the community at the Shelter.  
We are trying to raise  $27,000. 

​As of 6/16/2021...
​ we received $21,769.53 towards this goal!

Thank you!

CHEF LUCAS PIZZA
By Dakota Woodlands Representative ​

This week brought a wonderful surprise to Dakota Woodlands.  Not only was the weather beautiful with sunshine and cool temperatures of 63 degrees, we had a special visitor from Chef Lucas Pizza – serving over 31 pizzas to residents and staff!  Chef Lucas is no stranger to DW.  We first met Lucas Hobbs in 2016, when he was 13 years old.  Chef Lucas showed up at DW with a food truck and served hot meals to the people living and working at our organization. At the time, we learned that Chef Lucas had gone through a battle with cancer and that he wanted to give back to the community that helped him put the cancer in remission.  With the help of his parents and the Minnesota Food Truck Association, Chef Lucas could make his dream a reality, by sharing his passion for cooking and serving good food to the community he so loves. This mixed with his determination is what it took to grow his vision to what it is today.  ​... To continue reading, see our blog...
