“When it comes to loving our neighbor, starting with what is the most necessary of human needs makes sense. No one should be without adequate food…Our food shelf is the only ‘in-person’ ministry that has operated without ceasing during the pandemic. It has created awareness that the suburbs are not immune from people who are food insecure and a commitment to providing food to those who need it.” – Pastor Rick featured in the St Paul Synod’s food shelf challenge promotions (2020)
