This is what compassion looks like when innovation and community support come together. 🤝🏠

Avivo Village in Minneapolis transformed a former warehouse into an indoor community of 100 secure private “tiny homes” for people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Residents receive more than a room: onsite services include housing support, mental-health care, substance-use treatment, medical assistance, and employment services. By July 2026, Avivo reported that 339 residents had moved into permanent housing since the program opened in December 2020.

somebody in the county looked at a perfectly good tow truck and said, “this needs to be a giant infected monster foot.”

and somehow, they engineered the TOE TRUCK. 🦶🛻

it offers 24-hour toeing, promises to heel your problems, and claims no job is too corny.

the cracked yellow toenails are reinforced with sheet metal, the winch comes straight out of the heel, and there’s a full-size can of athlete’s foot powder mounted beside the toolbox like standard roadside equipment.

it’s green.
it’s ugly.
it may violate several laws of transportation and podiatry.

but when your car breaks down, this thing will show up, put its foot down, and get you back on the road.

just don’t ask the driver to pull your toe.

apparently that activates the horn.
