Allowing Flowers Book Launch Event
In celebration of this unprecedented partnership, CommonBond has joined together with community leaders including the Walker Art Center to present the Allowing Flowers Book Launch Event. Guests will meet Alec Soth and hear about the inspiration behind this masterpiece collection and they will learn about the life-changing impact CommonBond has had, on the over 35,000 people served in their nearly 40 year history. The event will support CommonBond Communities’ important work building community, homes and hope in the Twin Cities. CommonBond is the largest nonprofit housing developer, manager and resident service provider in the Upper Midwest. With your help, the organization plans to open 4,000 more doors over five years. These homes will include valuable on-site services that support resident success and independence.

The Open Doors Display
A front step can be the first step.
Who says a window of opportunity has to be a window?
It's the entrance to something far greater than a house.
Each brightly colored door in the Open Doors Display opens to a message like these, telling the importance of affordable homes with services. For thousands of struggling Minnesotans, a front door like these can be a portal to a new beginning. But as all of us are feeling the economic crisis, doors are closing for many families in need. To spread the word about this important issue, CommonBond and BBDO Advertising have created a traveling display of five full-sized doors, opening to messages on the importance of home. These doors represent the 4,000 more doors to affordable homes we plan to create through the Open 4000 Doors Campaign.
