ST. PAUL, Minn. (Jan. 02, 2017) – Affinity Plus’ five-week Month of Giving finished Dec. 31 with nearly $22,000 in contributions from members, staff and the public.

“I can’t say enough about our members, staff and the communities in which we have branches,” said Dave Larson, Affinity Plus President/CEO. “The weekly totals and the final tally demonstrate their generosity and community spirit.”
Over the five weeks, Second Harvest Heartland and Special Olympics Minnesota consistently received the most donations. In the final week, Second Harvest again received the most contributions.
Along with Second Harvest and Special Olympics, Affinity Plus’ Charities of Choice include American Red Cross – Minnesota Region; Children’s Minnesota; and the Affinity Plus Foundation. All have extensive websites with additional information about their programs and resources.
