Get Involved

Here are some ways you can support our cause.

Volunteer

We host a Free Food Giveaway on the second Saturday of each month in the Nativity of Mary parking lot. Volunteers are needed for packing food at the Twin Cities SVDP warehouse the Friday before as well as the morning of the food giveaway to direct traffic, greet, and place food in cars.

Translate

We are always in need of translators, especially Spanish, for a variety of positions including meeting with families in need and at the Free Food Giveaway.

Donate

Canned and dry good donations are a top need. In order to host our monthly Free Food Giveaways, we rely on the generosity of Nativity of Mary Parish. Donation bins can be found at church entrances.

We welcome monetary donations. Donations go directly towards serving the needs of our neighbors.

Attend Our Spiritual Meetings

Join us in reflecting on the gospel, praying together, and discussing our agenda.

Meetings are in the Nativity of Mary Gathering Space on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month at 7:00 PM. 

Pray

We kindly request your prayers for those we serve, our volunteers, and our mission.
