November Hunger Appeal

November 21, 2013 By Faith

Through food and financial contributions, we thankfully give food to the hungry. Here’s what you can do!

Give Funds:

Financial contributions to fight hunger can be given in the Mission Offering envelope and the Thanksgiving envelope. This year’s goal is to raise $10,000 in offerings specifically for world hunger during November.

How offerings will be allocated:

  • 60% Lutheran World Relief leads the way in stewarding resources to provide food for those in refugee camps, but also in helping people in desperate situations be able to feed themselves. Read our spotlight on LWR’s work.
  • 25% A total of $2,500 given to Common Cup Ministries will help our church fully sponsor a Second Harvest food distribution in our community. Read more…
  • 10% Filling the boat with food donations for the McLeod County Food Shelf is crucial. In addition, our financial contributions will allow leaders of this effort to purchase much needed special items.
  • 5% Funds given to Food for Kidz in Stewart, Minnesota, will give meaningful support for this international distribution of nutritious food.

We’ll be lifting up the November Hunger Appeal, and the organizations it will support, throughout the month. Look for more information in the days to come.

Give Food:

Food contributions can be given through our “Fill the Boat” campaign. During the month of November, the Congregational Life Ministry Team is asking everyone to participate in the Thanksgiving Food Drive. Look for the boat located in the southeast entrance (Door 2), and bring your items to share with others in our community. All food collected will be brought to the McLeod County Food Shelf in time for Thanksgiving. Update: The food has been dropped off, and weighed in at 676 lbs. That’s 130 lbs more than we gave last year at this time! THANK YOU to all who donated food!

McLeod County Food Shelf needs donations this week!

March 27, 2012 By Faith

Food collections around the county are down considerably from this time last year. To date, only 9000 pounds of food from around the county has been donated towards the food drive. This is equivalent to a one week supply of food for the food shelf. It’s going out as fast as it comes in.

Last year this program raised over 100,000 pounds of food, cleaning supplies and personal hygiene items for the McLeod Emergency Food Shelf. Unfortunately, the need in McLeod County continues to grow. Last year, the McLeod Emergency Food Shelf distributed 386,345 lbs. of food and supplies throughout McLeod County. That amount is up 42% from 2010. Our local Hutchinson Food Shelf served over 2,700 households in 2011 and they continue to see more families come in for assistance.

Donate to the 2012 Food Drive this week! Minnesota Food Share will match any donation, but that only includes food donated in March. You can donate directly at the McLeod Emergency Food Shelf here in Hutchinson at 105 2nd Ave.  SW Monday through Friday 9:00 am – Noon or at any of the businesses listed below.
