A Special 4th of July Treat for Our Friends in the Twin Cities
We hope you had a very happy 4th of July!
Thanks to a loving volunteer at FOCUS Minnesota, neighbors who rely on their bagged lunch outreach received something special for the Fourth…homemade cookies decorated with the American Flag.
Five-hundred lunch bags per week are distributed right outside FOCUS Minnesota’s front door. This wonderful volunteer and her husband make themed cookies for several holidays throughout the year.
Her beautifully decorated confections are a wonderful offering and are a great way for the people served by FOCUS Minnesota to feel like they are part of a community that loves and cares for them.
In addition to bag lunches, the folks at FOCUS Minnesota deliver meals to the homes of 25 people with a disability or illness, provide access to a supplemental food shelf for 100+ households, and distribute approximately 1000 hot meals every month.
