Give to the Max

Contributed report

The Maple Lake Library is proud to participate in the 15th annual Give to the Max Day on Thursday, Nov. 16.

Give to the Max is a statewide, grassroots giving event that raises tens of millions of dollars each year for more than 6,000 causes across Minnesota and beyond. Considered Minnesota’s holiday for generosity, donors have given more than $290 million to more than 10,000 organizations since the inaugural Give to the Max Day in 2009.

Maple Lake Library provides free public library services to all Maple Lake area residents. The Maple Lake Library was established in 2009 as an independent, all-volunteer library after a three-year effort by the Friends of the Maple Lake Library.

Your contribution will help to maintain and sustain the Maple Lake Library – a vital place for vital minds. “Give to the Max is a celebration of Minnesotan generosity and the impact it has in every community across our state,” said Jake Blumberg, executive director of GiveMN. “Every year, we start at $0 and are humbled by the power hundreds of thousands of gifts can have when our community gives together during Minnesota’s giving holiday.”

To participate, visit the library’s website www.MapleLakeLibrary.org and make your donation.

“Remember no gift is too small or too large. We welcome all donations,” Library volunteers said.

Give to the Max, donors may also visit GiveMN.org and search for other causes they care about by name, keyword, ZIP code or related keywords. Give to the Max’s Early Giving period begins Nov. 1 and continues through Give to the Max Day on Nov. 16, with random drawings throughout for more than $100,000 in prize grants for Minnesota organizations. Additionally, each donation given through GiveMN.org qualifies The Maple Lake Library for additional prize grants, thanks to the continued generosity of the Bush Foundation.
