Save Time and Donate to Dakota Woodlands!

Just think, you can save time, bring a fabulous meal to any gathering AND give to Dakota Woodlands ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!! How you ask??? It's easy!

Let's Dish! is an innovative store with 7 locations throughout Minnesota, (including Apple Valley) where you can make (or pick up) family-friendly dishes designed to be frozen and cooked when you need them. You can cook the meals in the store, order meals online that are prepared by their staff, order dishes for your party or just stop by one of their stores and select a “ready made” dish on the way home! Not only is this a life saver during the holidays, but also a great way to give to Dakota Woodlands. From now until December 31st, you can enter in the code “Woodlands” when placing your order and they will donate 5% back to Dakota Woodlands!

For more information about Let's Dish! and this wonderful opportunity to support Dakota Woodlands, visit their website. Enter the code "Woodlands" online when you place your order, or visit one of their store locations.

One of the delicious meals you can prepare at Let's Dish!

Thompson West...Volunteers of the Month!

Volunteers of the Month

Thank You Thompson West!

Each month a group of employees from Thompson West volunteer their time and talent to Dakota Woodlands. As part of their Community Partners Program they mentor and tutor students, prepare and serve meals, sort donations and whatever else needs doing. Most recently a group came to help spread woodchips around the playground and backyard to help us prepare for winter. With military precision they filled wheel barrels, garbage cans and whatever else we had with woodchips and as they were dumped out another group was ready to rake. The end result was fabulous! We appreciate Thompson West's continued support of Dakota Woodlands and the fantastic job they do.
