Project StoryBridge: Voices United for a Stronger Minnesota
MEANINGFUL SOLUTIONS START WITH STORIES
Join us on Thursday, October 23 at 5:00PM for an evening of community, friends, and food!
Madison Mercantile is excited to host Project Storybridge: an opportunity for Minnesotans to guide state policy making by sharing stories. Project Storybridge is a partnership with Civic Bridgers and the State of Minnesota.
Every story in Minnesota is important, and has the power to bring people together. Your stories will help shape programs and policies in Minnesota.
Want to help make positive change in your community?
MN StoryCollective invites people living in Minnesota to share their stories. This information will be used to help improve programs and services that affect people, kids, and families all over our state.
Together, we’ll make Minnesota’s programs, services, and communities stronger as we work toward a brighter future for all!
