The Lifeline

Grace Evangelical Free Church in Fridley, MN, receives 30,000 pounds of food and grocery products once a month from Feed America and up to another 10,000 pounds from a local food bank called Ruby's Pantry. About 130 volunteers unload, tally, repackage and distribute the food to 650 to 700 family units. Reporting that 'volunteers and faith-based organizations are the lifeline of America's emergency food distribution system' NEED Magazine notes more than 1,000 people in Fridley would go hungry if it were not for this compassionate ministry to the community.
