The Minneapolis American Indian Center has changed its method of operations in response to the COVID-19 epidemic in order to protect the health of our staff, volunteers and community members. Staff are working off-site in observance of the Governor’s Stay at Home order, and we have closed the Center to all but essential activities. Gatherings Café is only preparing meals for delivery to elders.
