This blog post is updated regularly to reflect recent community outreach events.
At Gassen Company, we not only regularly speak of our four core values but are dedicated to regularly acting on them whether we are inside or outside the office walls.
Four Core Values
Do the Right Thing
Solution Focused
Committed
We Care
Gassen Company regularly volunteers and participates in community outreach work in the Twin Cities area. With our roots starting and staying in the Twin Cities Metro Area, we are committed to giving back to our neighboring communities. Not only do community events allow us to give back directly to those around us but they enable us to form stronger bonds within our company further reaching new heights in serving your HOA community.
Recent Impact on Minnesota Communities - Updated Regularly
Minneapolis Crisis Nursery - August 2024
Gassen Team members recently spent some time cooking for kids at the Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery. The Team was given instructions on food preparation and left alone to prepare, plate and serve nine children. They were able to sit with the children while they ate lunch.
The Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery has been a trusted resource for families in crisis since 1983, offering free services for parents and children. Each year, the Nursery responds to approximately 4,000 crisis calls and offers shelter for up to 20 children at a time, ensuring they have a safe place to stay when their families need it most.

Habitat for Humanity - July 2024
In July of 2024, a part of our Gassen team volunteered for a day at Habitat for Humanity. They worked on roof decking, installed insulation, verified construction practices on exterior sheathing, and completed various other tasks!
Thank you for the great day, Habitat for Humanity.
Proud of our team members! View pictures from the day below.
Food Shelf Donations Since 2019
One of Gassen Company's main outreach initiatives is directly correlated with each community we partner with for HOA management services. Since 2019, when a new client partners with Gassen Company, a $100 donation is given in the HOA's name to a food shelf in their area. Since 2019, we have donated around $13,000 to local food shelves through our HOA partnerships.
In addition to, the community partnership donations, Gassen Company regularly donates to food shelves across the Twin Cities. Including our community partner donations, we have donated nearly $58,000 to various food shelves! Whether through new community partnerships or our own initiatives, we are thankful for the ability to give back directly to our neighbors and make an impact on Minnesota communities!
Feed My Starving Children - May 2024
Our most recent in person initiative was at Feed My Starving Children in Chanhassen. A group of Gassen employees spent the afternoon packing meals for those in need in Uganda. With around 30 employee volunteers, the Gassen group was able to pack 58 boxes or 33,408 meals! This equates to 91 kids getting fed a daily meal for a year due to the amazing team effort by the volunteers.
