Because of the value we place on citizenship, SHPA models this by participating in community events. Some are initiated by us, others are hosted by the City of Bloomington or the Bloomington Chamber of Commerce. They include contributions to the local food shelf, visiting and performing for elderly members of nearby church community, Bloomington Heritage Days. We participate in Adopt-a-Woodlot program, public park cleanups, Feed My Starving Children, Toys for Tots, and Charter Day at the Minnesota State Capitol.
