“Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.” Isaiah 58:10

We are called to look out for our brothers and sisters. To care for our neighbors and to help those in need….

We are in trying times, with gas and food prices skyrocketing and the overall cost of living rising daily , many rural families are barely making ends meet. Many of these families are working multiple jobs, some single parent homes, trying to raise their children and provide them with a roof over their heads and food on the table. And many going hungry in the process. We wanted to help in any way we could, and that’s why we are starting a program called the Harvest Boxes.

We are a group of 4 small rural churches in Northern Minnesota who want to be able to lift the burden of “ what will we eat tonight “ off of some families in need. We are filling boxes with shelf stable food, personal care items, and household supplies to bless rural families and elderly persons struggling to make ends meet. Most of the families do not qualify for any government food assistance programs. Many of our members have heard of hardworking families, many of them single parents in the rural community that are having a hard time putting food on the table, let alone having the funds for basic personal care items like toothpaste or toilet paper. We want to show love and kindness to people going through hard times by blessing them with a Harvest Box. No one will be required to attend or be members of the churches. We will go out to the people in need to bless them with a box. Our long term dream is to do this monthly. 100% of all donations will be used to fill the Harvest Boxes. With the four churches working together, we hope to deliver the Harvest Boxes to the people in need in the Detroit Lakes, Vergas, Wadena, New York Mills, Frazee, White Earth, Park Rapids, Osage, Sebeka, Audubon, Perham and Menahga areas.
