Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland was an amazing and unforgettable experience celebrating joy, family connection, play and togetherness for the Nellie Stone Johnson Community  in the heart of North Minneapolis.

Be The Change MN, a local non-profit focused on investing in the youth in our community, is proud to mentor a passionate group of high school students to organize an event for K-5 students. We are excited to curate an amazing and unforgettable experience that celebrates joy, family connection, play and togetherness as a school community for the Nellie Stone Johnson Community School (NSJ) in the heart of North Minneapolis.

It Starts With Our Family

The Giving Snow Globe symbolizes the heart of our Winter Wonderland—the strength and unity of our family and community.

Inside, the swirling snowflakes represent the students, their families, school staff, and leaders who make up the fabric of our shared purpose. Every snowflake matters, just as every family is essential to our collective story.

Surrounding the globe are the larger snowflakes—our generous sponsors, donors, local businesses, nonprofits, and volunteers—who support, uplift, and help bring this magical day to life.

Together, we create a Winter Wonderland where the warmth of family is at the center, and the joy of giving is shared by all. This is where it begins—with our family, our purpose, and the community we build together.

Many of these 210 families continually face challenges with food insecurity, financial instability and social unrest. This is our opportunity to come together as a community to provide one incredible night for these talented students, with the potential to make a long lasting impact on them and their families while actively participating and leading others to ‘be the change’. We believe it is extremely important to support these families during the two week holiday break by providing resources, food and support until they return back to school.
