After a period of time to pray, discuss and plan, our Compassion Outreach ministry has determined the time is right to open the food shelf on a new day during the week. We have determined that a Tuesday afternoon

timeframe from 3pm to 6pm would open new opportunity to our neighbors we serve. This date and time provides our neighbors with an alternate pickup time besides the Saturday distribution time.
We also feel this is a great time to add opportunities for our church members to join at a different time to serve in the food shelf. If you are unable to serve on Friday and Saturday, please consider volunteering and serving on Tuesdays starting April 4th. Volunteer shifts are from 9am to noon, noon to 3pm and 3pm to 6pm. Our Compassions Ministry Leader, Teresa Garcia will lead this new ministry time. This might be an opportunity for Discipleship Groups to serve together at one of the outreaches.
This expanded access is part answer to the growing use of the food shelf and the needs of our communities we serve. The new Tuesday service is in partnership with Family Values For Life and the Contenders for the Faith Church of Saint Paul. They have been faithful members of the Saint Paul community over the past twenty years and are partners in our building as well.
You can make a difference in the lives of many of our Neighbors within our communities by donating money or non-perishable foods this month during the Minnesota FoodShare Campaign. Your contributions are matched by the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches making your gift an even larger impact.
