Grants Available to Feed Neighbors

To address a growing U.S. hunger crisis, the General Board of Global Ministries is making Feeding Our Neighbors food ministry grants available, offering up to $2,000 in emergency food funding for United Methodist congregations with food ministries, pantries and ministry partners across the United States. United Methodist churches seeking to participate in the program can learn more and apply here. Applications are open and will be accepted through December 15, 2025.

These grants are intended to inspire acts of compassion at this time, in answer to Jesus’ call in Matthew 25:35: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.”

Urgent Need: Emma Norton Grocery Gift Cards

Due to the ongoing government shutdown, SNAP benefits will likely not be issued for November. Many of our clients rely on this support.

To help our clients during this time, we are seeking donations of $25-$50 gift cards for Walmart, Target, Cub and Aldi.

Please mail gift cards ASAP to Emma Norton Services, Attn: Advancement, 2265 Hillcrest Ave, St. Paul MN 55116

Thank you for your support during this uncertain time!
