Founded in 1986, by Rose Schaffhausen, the Upper Midwest Region is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It encompasses the states of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Annual events include a Cinco de Mayo 5K, a Pequeño Tour featuring a dance and music from one of the NPH homes and the Celebrando A Los Niños Gala. NPH raises the kids and we raise the funds.
 With deep sadness, the NPH family mourns the loss of a faithful servant and mentor, Ann Arnold. She passed away on November 18, 2019, at the age 97. Read more -> |
