Month-long School Supply Drive:
August 2–30

EVENT DETAILS

People Serving People (PSP) helps children and families experiencing homelessness manage crisis situations and build a strong foundation for their long-term success. PSP is the largest and most comprehensive, family-focused homeless shelter in Minnesota. They envision a community in which all children have the stability and support they need to develop their full capacity to thrive. PSP provides licensed, high-quality care and support for infants through school-aged children with low teacher-child ratios and small class sizes for optimal growth and development.

Help us support guests at People Serving People.

First, the youngest guests will be able to access school supplies throughout the year to use at school and at home. While many children do receive filled backpacks at the beginning of the year, we all know from firsthand experience that supplies break, get lost, or end up not being what they need. We have also noticed that the backpacks tend to be filled with lower-quality supplies that both break quickly and immediately make the kids stand out from their peers. That's why you will notice our list has specific, trusted brands.

Second, the supplies will be used in PSP's own classrooms so students can have the resources and tools that they need and deserve. By the community providing their classroom supplies, the monetary donations can be used to hire top-quality teachers, offer safe spaces, and provide families with comprehensive programming as they move towards stability.

Thank you for your generosity and support!

Please bring supplies to the East Entry at Hennepin Avenue UMC between August 2 and 30.

Gift cards are always welcome!

local "justice" mission trip for youth:
august 3–5

EVENT DETAILS

You're invited to save the first week in August for the upcoming Local Justice Mission Trip.

Serve MSP is a day camp for youth in grades 7–12. At Serve MSP, youth will spend time volunteering with service partners that work to support and advocate for the marginalized and those in need in the Twin Cities area. Each day will also include time to hear from community speakers and leaders about topics rooted in social justice. We’ll be unpacking scripture and stories related to these topics, too, with an anchor held in this verse from Esther: “For such a time as this.”

Minnesota has been a central figure in conversations about social justice in recent history. Serve MSP will allow an opportunity to safely gather with other youth and community leaders, to serve organizations that are doing justice work every day, and to engage in necessary conversations.

We'll gather from August 3–5 at several locations in the Twin Cities (itineraries will be distributed to adult leaders before camp week). We'll have a Zoom Kickoff Event on Aug 2 and a closing worship service on August 5. In the weeks leading up to Serve MSP, adult leaders will have a menu of service and learning opportunities to choose from and can determine what will be best for their group (based on group size, age, learning emphasis).

$40/student will cover the cost of materials (and for a sweet t-shirt) over the course of the camp week; scholarships are available.

WATCH NOW > > > Moral Activism:
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove is a writer, speaker, and moral activist who weaves his personal journey of transformation with the compelling stories of ordinary people who leaned into the public square with fresh imagination to love in uncommon ways and create transformation in their communities.

On Saturday, January 16, 2021, Hennepin hosted Jonathan for a 90-minute conversation and discussion (via zoom) offering an opportunity to engage with some of the most thoughtful and inspirational voices in progressive faith.

Jonathan has been called “a scribe for the moral movement in America.” His most recent book, Revolution of Values, returns to the heart of the Christian message—to follow Jesus, love our neighbor, bless those who persecute us, and pursue justice on behalf of “the least of these.” He serves on the national steering committee of the Poor People's Campaign and directs The School for Conversion, an education center committed to "making surprising friendships possible."
