Bethel alumnus Dan Hunt ’95, GS ’97 was recently awarded the prestigious Virginia McKnight Binger Award for his work as the director of housing for Minneapolis-based Urban Homeworks, which helps families in need of low-income housing. He also donated a kidney to one of his residents.
Hunt was one of six people to receive the award from the McKnight Foundation, the state's largest private foundation. The award aims to honor people who often receive little or no recognition. Each recipient received a $10,000 thank you gift from McKnight.
“These are just amazing people,” Kate Wolford, the foundation's president, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “Their stories are always inspiring.”
