Merrick, Inc., is a nonprofit organization committed to providing a full array of life enrichment and employment services to adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Established in 1964, Merrick has a 60-year history of empowering adults with disabilities and currently serves nearly 400 individuals making us the largest provider of day services in Ramsey County.

Though Merrick has a long history of providing remarkable services, we still rely on the generosity of individuals, community partners, and local businesses to sustain our programs. Because of their support, Merrick fundraising events collectively raise over $200,000 on an annual basis.

This fall, Merrick’s Autumn Online Auction will take place over a nine-day period starting on Wednesday, November 6, with the goal of raising $6,800 for our programs. The auction will consist of up to 20 items between $100 to $1,000 in value. Items up for auction will include event tickets, sports memorabilia, hotel stays, jewelry, and gift card bundles. Since making its debut in 2018, Merrick’s Online Auction has raised a cumulative total of over $40,000. This year, we are expecting to receive no less than 250 bids from 60 bidders.
