Volunteers Needed this Saturday- Help Us Clear Out our Old Warehouse

This month Mano a Mano moved into a combined office/warehouse space in St. Paul, MN and out of our co-founders’ home which had been our office for the past 18 years. As part of the move, we have been busy clearing out our old rented warehouse space and consolidating everything at our new location.

This Saturday we are clearing out everything from our old warehouse and we need your help!

Help Clear Out our Old Warehouse

• When: Saturday, January 26, starting at 8a until we finish (you are welcome to come for the whole time or however long works for you)
• Where: 3045 Highway 13, Eagan, MN 55121 (near Door 30; go around to the warehouse doors behind the central office building)

Please note that this warehouse location is OUTSIDE; if you plan on coming be sure to wear warm clothes (i.e. suitable for working outside in Minnesota in January) that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty.

We have to be cleared out by the end of this month, so we need all the help we can get!
