Minnesota's Biggest Day of Giving Starts With You

Give to the Max Day is Minnesota’s annual celebration of generosity—when thousands of people come together to support nonprofits that are changing lives across the state. At Small Sums, we’re excited to open our doors and invite you to be part of the movement in a personal, meaningful way.

Whether you're a longtime supporter or curious to learn more, our Give to the Max Day Open House is the perfect opportunity to:

  • Meet our staff and board members
  • Hear firsthand stories from workers we’ve supported
  • Tour our space and learn how we turn donations into direct impact
  • Discover how to get involved beyond giving—through advocacy, volunteering, or community partnerships

Why Give?

Imagine receiving a job offer that could change your life—only to realize you can’t afford the boots, uniform, or bus fare required to start.

That’s the reality for far too many people. But you can help change that.

At Small Sums, we provide workers experiencing homelessness with the essential gear, tools, and transportation they need to say yes to the job, keep it, and thrive.

This Give to the Max Day, our goal is to raise $30,000—enough to outfit 1,200 workers for success. Every dollar raised removes a barrier and opens a door to economic opportunity.
