Giving Back in Every Season
Autumn marks a time of rapid transition. Minnesota goes from a steamy 90-degree-boat season to a moderate orange-tinged landscape to frigid sweater weather and bare branches within a couple of months. The seasons of life may transition similarly – quickly slowing down or speeding up. There is an opportunity to support Gilda’s Club whatever season of life you are in.

Spread the Word about Gilda’s Club
The simplest way to volunteer your time is also one of the most impactful. You can make a difference by simply talking about Gilda’s Club! Below are some frequently asked questions you can share with those in your community who may be facing cancer or looking for ways to get involved:
WHAT IS GILDA’S CLUB?
Gilda’s Club is a warm and welcoming place where everyone currently impacted by any form of cancer—and those who care for (and about) them—can receive social, emotional, and psychological support. Our non-residential physical and virtual clubhouse is a healing environment where people can connect with one another and learn new ways to live with cancer while being guided by licensed professionals.
WHERE IS GILDA’S CLUB TWIN CITIES LOCATED?
Our Clubhouse is on the north side of Interstate 394, just west of US Hwy 169, and only 10 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. Our address is 10560 Wayzata Blvd., Minneapolis, MN, 55305. We also serve members online, from wherever they are located within Minnesota.
HOW DO I BECOME A MEMBER?
The first step is to sign up for and attend a New Member Meeting, where you’ll hear about the five cornerstones of our program of support and receive a tour of our clubhouse.
WHAT DOES IT COST?
Our programming is absolutely free, because the last thing someone impacted by cancer needs is another expense. We are completely supported by contributions from our community.
Volunteer This Fall
Looking to get connected by giving back? You can donate your time in a number of valuable positions, including Gilda Greeting in our reception area, being a Community Ambassador at a local event, and more!
Lead a Course, Class, or Workshop
Perhaps you have a skill that you’d like to share with members and would be open to teaching a one-time or ongoing class online, in the physical clubhouse, or in a hybrid format. We are looking for experienced individuals to lead writing, gratitude, mindfulness, Qigong, Tai Chi, and cooking classes in 2024! Get in touch via phone or email, or fill out a suggestion form if you might like to lead some of our programming in the future.
