Community

As always, Minnesota United’s mission to unite our community includes supporting local businesses and people from all walks of life. Join us this month in highlighting and supporting Hispanic-owned or supported businesses in the Twin Cities area, from bookstores to restaurants and beyond. All you have to do is show up and support, just like you do on gameday.

Plus, you can win cool MNUFC prizes. Just swing by these businesses and scan the QR code at the register to enter! For all the nitty gritty details (rules and super fun legal technicalities), click HERE.

As part of our growing collection by local artists, we’re excited to introduce designs by Charlie Garcia! Charlie’s murals, design work, and photography explore urban life, identity, and social justice through the lens of his Indigenous heritage, addressing issues like the criminalization of immigrants and Indigenous peoples. He founded Intertribal Styles BIPOC Graffiti Jam as an advocate of using art for self-expression and resistance. Charlie’s limited-edition work will launch in conjunction with the September 20 Hispanic Heritage Game, available at the Black and Blue Team Store. Check back soon to see the collection!

When you grab your swag from the Black and Blue Team Store throughout the month of September, you can round up to the nearest dollar to donate your change to CLUES, whose work advances social and economic equity and wellbeing for Latinos by building upon strengths and cultures, uplifting community, and enabling leadership for systemic change. IKEA will match fan donations!
