Support and outreach to Wrecktangle has been overwhelming. We sincerely appreciate all of the support. Here are the different ways that you can support Wrecktangle and our community:
In 2026, the Wrecktangle Community Fund was started in collaboration with the Minneapolis Foundation during the ICE occupation of Minneapolis. This Fund provides grants to local non-profits in alignment with our mission and values. Donations to the Wrecktangle Community fund are tax-deductible.
