Sheltering Arms is devoted to improving the odds for our state’s children. We hope you will join us in our cause. Whether you are a long time supporter or are learning of our mission for the first time, it is important to know that your support helps fund non-profit organizations throughout the State of Minnesota whose programs and services benefit disadvantaged children and their families. All donations are tax-deductible.
