Verse of the Week: 1 Peter 5:7

Fight the good fight with all your might; Christ is your strength, and Christ your right.

Lay hold on life, and it shall be Your joy and crown eternally.

Run the straight race through God’s good grace; Lift up your eyes, and seek His face.

Life with its way before us lies; Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.

Cast care aside, lean on your guide; His boundless mercy will provide.

Trust, and enduring faith shall prove Christ is your life and Christ your love.

Faint not nor fear, His arms are near; He changes not who holds you dear; Only believe, and you will see That Christ is all eternally.

Help hungry kids in Dakota County have the energy and brain power to make their summer count!

Dear Partner of The Open Door, We need your help this summer. The Mobile Lunchbox is taking its biggest swing yet at addressing the summer meal gap in our community, and your group could be the key. While summer break is a welcome break for many, it is also a burden on families who rely on schools for multiple meals each day. Nearly 50% of students in ISD 191, and just over a quarter in ISD 196 depend on free and reduced school lunch for reliable meals during the schools year.

Thanks to the support of Giving WoMN and an expanded partnership with ISD 191, this summer The Open Door's Mobile Lunch Box Program will be visiting 5 neighborhoods in Burnsville and Eagan to provide kids with access to fresh, healthy meals all summer long. We need small groups of volunteers to hand out lunches, play games, and help kids pack take home bags of healthy food for the rest of the week. Read below for details on how you can help.

Will your church serve at a Mobile Lunch Box site?

The Open Door is seeking local businesses and organizations to support our summer initiative, The Mobile Lunch Box. The Mobile Lunch Box travels to low-income neighborhoods and provides:  Free healthy bagged lunches for school-aged children (5-18) that includes sandwiches, fresh whole fruit, vegetables and juice  Free volunteer-led activities for children: reading, games, art  Free bag of healthy, wholesome foods to take home each week Your team will volunteer at summer lunch sites to serve lunch, engage the kids in enrichment activities, and distribute take home foods.

Mobile Lunch Box details: • 2-4 volunteers each week for 9 weeks, starting the 2nd week of June through the 3rd week of August • 2-hour shifts during the lunch hours at the same location each week • The Mobile Lunch Box sites are located in Eagan and Burnsville We look forward to your partnership with The Open Door’s Mobile Lunch Box program! Please call or email me with to discuss your participation and questions. Contact me at 952-220-3420 or at maggiye@theopendoorpantry.org.

Thank you!
