We're called to make a difference

“One person can do many things, but together we can do even more. Together, we can do great things that we didn’t know were possible on our own. Together, we can have the audacity to believe the faith community still matters. Together, we can shine brightly and generate real transformative change in this community.” - Pastor Sara Spohr

We work in partnership for greater impact, sharing resources, and showing up to create a more equitable and just world.

Toilet paper donations

​One of our New Branches community partners, Minnehaha Food Shelf, provides food for 800+ of our neighbors in South Minneapolis each week—they’ve asked for special hygiene collections each month based on community needs.

In May, we’ll collect toilet paper. You can bring donation items to the The Commons.

In the months ahead, we’ll be collecting:
  • Diapers in sizes 3, 4, and 5, open boxes welcome, in June
  • Bars of soap in July
  • Menstrual products in August
