The Como Park Lutheran Church Says Thank you for March FoodShare Drive: Proof of a giving Community

March Food Drive Results

On Sunday, March 26th, CPLC hosted our third Food Drive for the March FoodShare Campaign benefiting Keystone Community Services.

During this event, CPLC members and the Como Park community collected 2,000 pounds of food, $1,800 in donations, and we received $2,155 in envelope gifts for hunger ministries bringing the total dollar amount to $3,955 toward the FoodShare Campaign. The event also showcased the Como Community Seed Library, whom we will be collaborating with on a “Grow a Row” project that will build community through gardening and give others access to nutritous fruits and vegetables.

All of the money raised will allow Keystone Community Services to receive additional corporate dollars via the MN FoodShare Food Fund to help stock Keystone’s food shelves. Our friends at Keystone are truly grateful.

Thank you, friends, neighbors, and volunteers, for your generosity in making this our largest food collection since March of 2021. And, another special thank you to Thrivent Financial Services for helping with refreshments and promotional expenses.

With sincere gratitude,

Como Park Lutheran Church
