Food Justice Ministries
There is so much work to do in this world to increase wholeness and healing. At Fairmount Avenue UMC, we have focused much of our compassion and justice work on addressing issues related to homelessness and food insecurity.
With lots f ways to be involved, you can help, too!
-Every Meal: Every Friday, volunteers from FAUMC deliver food packs to back packs of families in our community who are facing food insecurity at Randolph Heights Elementary School. Through a partnership with our local elementary school and Every Meal.
this program puts food in the homes of families who have an immediate need for food.
- Every first Sunday of the month, people bring food donations for our local food shelf, Keystone Community Services. Bring a non-perishable food item to worship and it will be collected during the worship service and delivered to the organization to address needs in our immediate community.
- Throughout the year, people from FAUMC prepare and serve dinner at Simpson Housing Services in Minneapolis, including Thanksgiving Dinner every year for people experiencing homelessness!
- In the Summer and in 2018 in the fall, FAUMC has partnered with Project Home to provide safe housing for families experiencing homelessness in our city. We partner with other churches to provide volunteers as well as host in our building families.
