Metro Dealerships Collect Winter Gear for Homeless

In November, all Luther dealerships in the Twin Cities collected new socks, hats, and mittens for their local neighbors in need. Over 6,300 items were collected by the Metro dealerships and Luther’s home office.  

These items were distributed at the 3000 Acts of Kindness event held at the Minneapolis Convention Center. People experiencing homelessness can receive hygiene kits, meals, haircuts, foot care, medical services, assistance with getting IDs, and many other services at this annual event.   

3000 Acts of Kindness is sponsored by Coated in Love, a nonprofit whose mission is to provide hope, help, and resources to people experiencing homelessness and all in need.  

“Thank you to everyone who participated,” said Matt Oquist, Community Engagement Director. “It was great to see our team members care about our neighbors and keep them warm this winter.”

After the 3000 Acts of Kindness event, remaining items were given to treatment facilities who focus on helping women and children.
