March is Minnesota FoodShare Month
Hamline Church has supported this event for many years through the Keystone Community Services on University Avenue in St. Paul. This year we will also share the 25% of the money collected with Interfaith Action’s Department of Indian Work food shelf. In March we collect food every Sunday during worship or, in the designated boxes near the office in the commons and downstairs near the elevator. In March all amounts of money and food (each pound of food is given a 1 dollar value for this purpose), will be matched by the statewide agencies and given to each local center according to the amount they have collected. Contributions will be collected throughout the month. Tan envelopes for cash donations are in the pews. Every contribution is greatly appreciated! There are 7000 people who need and use these 3 Keystone agencies. Lists of items that are needed will be posted near the boxes during this time. Thank you!
The Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign is the largest grassroots food and fund drive in the state, accomplished by participating groups and individuals engaged in the fight against hunger in support of our 300 partner food shelves.
