At Storm Creek, we believe apparel can do more than show your style—it can be a force for good. That’s why in 2022, our founders Teresa Fudenberg and Doug Jackson launched the Storm Creek Community Fund to support Minnesota-based nonprofits through monetary gifts and apparel donations.
Since then, we’ve partnered with dozens of organizations across the state, distributing thousands of garments to people who need them most. From shelters and hospitals to community centers and outreach programs, our gear is helping individuals stay warm, dry, and comfortable—especially during life’s toughest seasons.
Partner Spotlight
One of our partners, Ronald McDonald House Upper Midwest, provides housing and support to families with seriously ill children receiving care in Twin Cities hospitals. These families often arrive unexpectedly and stay longer than planned—sometimes into the colder months without warm clothing.
Ronald McDonald House Charities recently shared a moment that reminds us why we do what we do:
“We put out a full rack of Storm Creek warm gear for families to take as needed. By mid-morning, it was nearly empty. Your gear went directly onto the backs of caregivers who never expected to be here into fall. They are warm today because of you.”
It’s more than just clothing—it’s comfort, relief, and hope. Moments like these fuel our purpose and inspire us to do even more.
Community Impact Across Minnesota
Storm Creek gear has reached countless communities through partnerships with organizations like:
“Storm Creek’s donation of 6,000 garments this winter made an incredible difference in the lives of those we serve. It was a powerful reminder of the generosity that can change lives, and we are deeply grateful for their support. This partnership has had a lasting impact, and I’m honored to be part of this journey of giving.” ~ HEART
"We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to receive a donation. The items will be placed into the unsheltered community in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area, and will be appreciated by many recipients that your generosity touches." ~ One Good Deed
"Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to our community and the kids we serve. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and the continued impact we can make together. We are truly BIGGER and BETTER together!” ~ Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities
Every garment tells a story of care, connection, and community.
How You Can Make an Impact
Access to warmth and comfort allows people to focus on what matters—recovery, caregiving, or simply making it through the day. That’s why the Storm Creek Community Fund continues to be a cornerstone of our mission, delivering gear through partners who know their communities best.
