In the fall of 2019 we announced an exciting new

project that we are going to engage with as a church. 

The Difference Project is composed of three parts

that will help with food insecurity right here

in our community. We want to be a church

that exists not just IN the community, 

but FOR the community. We need you to be involved.

WHY ARE WE CHOOSING TO ENGAGE IN FIGHTING FOOD INSECURITY?

  • 1 in 9 Minnesotans, and 1 in 6 children are facing food insecurities
  • In 2020, food shelves faced a 65% increase in demand
  • The affects of a global pandemic have only made these problems worse for people


HOW ARE WE FIGHTING FOOD INSECURITY?

  • Partnering with Alleluia Lutheran to supply volunteers for a food shelf while also supporting financially. We have been doing this since 2020 have been able to impact the lives of hundreds of families in our very own community.


ways to get involved

The 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month we partner with Alleluia Lutheran church in St. Michael to help distribute food to those in need. We distribute food rescued from CROSS in Rogers. Distribution takes place at Alleluia Lutheran Church in St. Michael. Fill out the form at the bottom of the page to sign up.
