100 Tons of Food
10,000 Homeless Meals &
Hundreds of Volunteers
During 30 Days Following Mpls Unrest
How Source is responding to the Minneapolis Unrest
Our city was already being hit hard by COVID-19 when the tragic death of George Floyd shocked our city and the world. After witnessing another senseless loss of life and then the loss of much of our city to arson and vandalism, our neighborhood has been left in anguish. The riots, fires and destruction on East Lake Street have devastated an already oppressed area of the city. In response, we have partnered with other organizations to have a full month of Prayer, Serving, and Art. In the Month of June, we gave more than 100 tons of food and 10,000 homeless meals. The heart of our work is to advance racial reconciliation and restoration. Click the links below to read all the ways we are working toward that effort.
