NEED OF THE MONTH

Each month Gethsemane's Social Ministry team raises funds and collects much-needed goods for various partner organizations from Hopkins and around the world.

FEBRUARY: ICA

In honor of Minnesota Foodshare Month we are collecting for ICS, our local food shelf. Look for the big pallet in the church lobby - it holds about 400 pounds of food, and we're hoping to fill it up, just like we did last year. 

ICA's mission is to "create a healthy and stable community for all." In addition to providing immediatge assistance with food and household items, ICA also works with clients to connect them with community resources, employment and housing. Visit the ICA website to learn more. 

ICA offers personal hygiene and household items to our neighbors as well as food. These items are in high demand:

If you'd like to donate financially, you may leave a check in the offering plate made out to Gethsemane with "ICA" in the memo line or designated cash. You can also give online here.
