YOUR MEMBERSHIP & DONATION CAN HELP US REACHMORE KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITY
Your donation today makes you a Minnesota Valley Refuge Friend!
How can kids find a simple way to boost brain power, improve health, and feel great? Spend time outside. The average American boy or girl spends as few as 30 minutes in unstructured outdoor play each day, and more than seven hours each day in front of an electronic screen. This shift inside profoundly impacts the wellness of our nation’s kids. Your valuable donation can help reach more kids.
Minnesota Valley Refuge Friends is a voluntary non-profit organization which receives its operational funding from its members and grants. The majority of money donated to Refuge Friends goes toward supporting the habitat restoration, environmental education, urban outreach, mentoring, arts, and other activities at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
