Imagine Church | The Difference Project

The difference project

We just announced an exciting new project that we are going to engage with this fall 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. Check out this video from Pastor Josh to learn more: https://youtu.be/ZkefYGw7170

Why we are choosing to engage in fighting food insecurity:

Food insecurity amongst children is expected to increase by more than 50 percent through December. This is one of the highest rates for child hunger in Minnesota in decades. http://support.2harvest.org/site/DocServer/Intro_to_McKinsey_Projections_6.22.pdf
1 in 8 Minnesotans is facing hunger. In 2019, it was 1 in 11.
In 2020, food shelves are facing a 65% increase in demand.

The Difference Project: Thanksgiving + Christmas

We believe that Everyone Matters and we want to continue to live that out this holiday season. We are excited to announce The Difference Project: Thanksgiving + Christmas. It is a way for us to engage with those in need. Below you will find details on how to specifically be involved this holiday season.

We are excited to be partnering with Alleluia Lutheran Church to provide families in need with a gift card for Christmas! We will be distributing these gifts on Saturday, December 19th at the regular food distribution, so not only will families get food for the week but also a small gift to ease some of the financial burden.

We Need Your Help!

To make this project possible, we need you to donate gift cards for gas or groceries in the amount of $10. A gift card from any grocery store or gas station is accepted, but some suggested locations are Cub foods, Kwik Trip, Holiday, Speedway.

We will be collecting items December 1st-18th. Here are a few ways you can get your donated items to us:

You can drop your gift card donations in the mail - Imagine Church PO Box 268 Albertville, MN 55301
You can connect with a staff member and they will be happy to pick up the gift cards from you!
You can make a donation to The Difference Project and we will pick up the gift cards for you! Follow the link to the give page, select the fund “The Difference Project” in the drop down menu. In the comments section you can write “Christmas Gift Cards”
