Fall Gatherings

The Better Together Food Packing event was such a success in 2016 that the Southwest Minnesota Synod of the ELCA has created two more food packing opportunities this summer! The Southwest Minnesota Women of the ELCA worked very hard to raise funds last year for the event, and we are called to do so again. This is a wonderful opportunity to work with our friends and neighbors to fight hunger right in our local towns.

Terebinth Refuge Fundraising Breakfast

The Terebinth Refuge is a shelter and transitional home for women recovering from sex trafficking and other forms of sexual exploitation. At our Synod Convention this year, we were honored to learn about this service in the St. Cloud area. They had an informational display as well as a quilt auction at our event.

Now, they are inviting one and all to their RISE Fundraising Breakfast event on September 13. The event is free to attend, but a free-will donation will provide support for the women being served at Terebinth Refuge.
