Are you looking for a volunteer activity for a group?
The Good Neighbor Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is a building that houses a couple of churches, but the owners also use it to benefit the city through a kids’ tutoring program and a meal program, The Good Neighbor Meal, where volunteers host a meal and feed those in need.
Last Saturday, our family hosted the meal, and the following volunteers served 130 plates of food and/or donated to the cause:
Micara and Todd Baker
Diane Barvels
Elisabeth Blees
Jeff, Sherry, and Bethany Bogenholm
Cindy Brown
Mother Minnie Brown
Lisa Carlson
Joe Courtemanche
Alvaro Domenighi
Deborah McDaniel Dunn and Trevor Dunn
Heidi, Mark, Adeline, and Ilya Edwards
Jon Gordon
Colleen Grewenow
Karyn Hansen
Joan Jacobson
Marie and Greg Johnson
Shelby Lanning
Joe Loftus
Susan, Ryan, Milo, and Lucy MacDonald
Connie Nelson
Jessica and Ava Nielson
Sidney Orchard
Ann Rubin and Sandy Almquist
Lynette and Mike Simser
Sandy and Chris Tutka
Thank you, everyone! And a special thank you to our North Minneapolis friends at The Thirsty Whale Bakery who donated and delivered cupcakes for all.
If you’d like to get involved too, meals are hosted/served the second and last Saturdays of each month. Send me a private message here so I can connect you with the coordinator to reserve your date.
