Community Meals: Making Contact and Gaining Trust
It was awesome to have partners from local churches, like Wooddale and Lord of Life, provide us with a bountiful feast for our Thanksgiving meal and other community meals. We served 75 people this year at our Thanksgiving meal.  It is always a blessing to see the wide array of ages and cultural backgrounds that come together and build relationships around a basic need for food that we all share. Homeless, low-income international families, transitional home residents, single moms and community members are all apart of our weekly community meal.

Wanted!
Individual volunteers or groups that want to help provide a one time or monthly meal for our Wednesday community meals.

YEAR END DONATIONS: We are going to do it again!
This year for year-end we have a goal of raising 50% of our 2016-17 program budget. In 2017 we also desire to expand with 1) significant renovations to the Fallout Urban Art Center and 2) new Anti-Trafficking programming.  We also have an incredible opportunity to impact ministry to trafficking victims as a spotlight is put on Minneapolis with the approaching Super Bowl in February of 2018.  We hope to increase our staff, resources and programming as well as being a central piece of connecting non-profits, churches and law enforcement.

Source is in our 30th year of ministry.  Donations through out the year and at year end are incredible significant to us being able to continue our ministry.  We want to thank our partners over the years for your prayers and support.  Thank you for being a part of helping us to reach our goals for a 30th year.
Thank you,
Peter Wohler, Director
