Community Service
I volunteer through ASID to further advance the organization and the communities in which we live.
To me it seems imperative that we give back. Most of us have been blessed in many ways. Whether with time, talent and/or money, giving back does more for us than it does for those on the other end of the gift. To that end, B.J. Folkerts Art & Design is committed to supporting charitable organizations locally, regionally and beyond.
Among the organizations we support:
People Serving People Minneapolis
People Serving People is the largest and most comprehensive, family-focused homeless shelter in Minneapolis. They help homeless children and their families manage crisis situations and build a strong foundation for their long-term success.
Clearwater Farm
LaCrosse, WI This 100% volunteer-operated non-profit organization demonstrates, advocates, and teaches the sustainable use of natural and agricultural resources.
The farm includes youth education gardens, community gardening, family activities, animal care teams, and more.
