Summer Food For Kids 2020

Grape Jelly Drive

Immanuel will be supporting PROP’s Summer Food For Kids Program again this summer by providing 600 jars of grape jelly for the prepacked supply boxes that PROP clients may receive during the summer months.  You may:

• drop off 15-20 ounce jars of grape jelly (not the big jars from Costco please) at Immanuel.  The red grocery cart will be just inside the front door of the church.  Or,
• you may remotely choose to purchase a case of 12 jars for $40. Payment for a case can be made via check sent to Immanuel with “Prop Jelly” in the memo, or through the Give+ app using the tag “Grape Jelly”.  The cases of jelly will be shipped directly to PROP.

What does PROP do?

PROP offers food programs that nourish the body, plus comprehensive social services and support to nourish the minds of Eden Prairie and Chanhassen residents, so they can gain confidence, regain control, and lead healthy, productive, and fulfilling lives within our community.

Immanuel supports the work of our local food shelf in caring for our neighbors by:

• Gathering non-perishable food donations in our PROP cupboard located outside of Fellowship Hall.
• Giving financial support through Benevolence dollars and designated giving.
• Supporting the Holiday Gift Program.

• Supplying the free children’s bookshelf at PROP. Donations of gently used or new books for children of all ages (including board books and chapter books) are always welcome in the box outside of Kim’s office.
