If you’re in South Washington County, this is a chance to celebrate three decades of neighbors helping neighbors. Basic Needs Inc. is marking its 30th anniversary with an evening that brings the community together to reflect on the past and invest in what comes next.
By attending, you’re supporting practical services that help people meet everyday needs—access to food, clothing, housing support, and coordinated services that remove barriers during difficult times. The night is about gratitude, connection, and strengthening a more inclusive and sustainable local community.
The celebration takes place on Thursday, March 26, 2026, from 5:00 to 9:00 PM, at River Oaks Golf & Events Center in Cottage Grove, Minnesota.
If you want to be part of a milestone that puts compassion into action, this is the evening to attend. Register here via the official event page.
