We created this fundraiser as an extension of our Friday night vigil - a way to care for one another while also caring for our wider community during a time of unrest and uncertainty here in Minnesota.
I give to Loaves & Fishes because making sure people are fed feels like one of the most immediate, tangible ways to practice compassion. When so much feels fragile, nourishing our neighbors matters. No one should have to carry hunger on top of everything else.
Loaves & Fishes is a nonprofit committed to providing healthy, free meals to Minnesotans in areas where need is greatest. In 2023, they served a record 5.9 million meals using rescued food - capturing wholesome, perfectly good food that would otherwise go to waste and transforming it into hot, nourishing meals. Over 12 million pounds of food were rescued and shared.
I give because I want to support Minnesotans experiencing homelessness. I give because children should not go to bed hungry. I give because care, nourishment, and dignity are essential - especially in difficult times.
Thank you for being part of this offering.
