Each month throughout the year our congregation participates in a
“Cause of the Month.”
This cause may take the form of providing physical labor for a local cause (which is often partnering with a nonprofit organization) or collecting items to assist an organization in carrying out their mission within our community.
In some cases, the cause may involve providing some sort of educational opportunity for the residents of Brookings. In other cases, we may join together alongside others outside of our constituency in an already scheduled event.
But in all cases, we seek to expand the worldview of our minds, while extending our hands in service beyond the walls of our church building.
The cause of the month for May will be the issue of food insecurity. As such, we have volunteered to help with the Feeding Brookings organization. We have committed to six volunteers from 2pm-4pm to
pack food boxes, and another four volunteers from 3pm-5:15pm to distribute the boxes and clean up on May 16th,
The Feeding Brookings Program is a local arm of the statewide Feeding South Dakota Organization. They receive donations of food from national corporations as well as food manufacturers across South Dakota
and then transport them to local communities to be distributed.
This is an easy and rewarding way to serve the less fortunate within our community, so we encourage you to participate!
