| The Men's Center can always use your help. Consider making a tax-deductible gift. Or volunteer your time at a support group. Perhaps you have a skill like carpentry or desktop publishing you can offer TMC. Or maybe you have office equipment / supplies that you'd like to give.
Call our Office Manager at (612) 822-5892 and ask how you can help. We have been a vital part of the Twin Cities community for 26 years, and almost all of our services have been provided by volunteers like you.
