Hello Anoka Stake,
Thank you for your great participation during October in our Food Drive with The Food Group. We now have the opportunity for a different kind of project as we enter into the holiday season!
The Amber Apartments are 80 units of housing for those with low incomes. Twenty-two of those apartments are studio apartments that have been dedicated to 22 individuals who have lived with homelessness here in MN. We are grateful to work with the RS Eden group who are running the project and interviewing applicants. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is donating $25,000 to help furnish these 22 apartments. RS Eden has funding for only the basic needs in the units. We have been asked to help make these spaces into homes with a "welcome basket" for each. These baskets will include everything from shower curtains and throw pillows to winter clothing and tablets for them to use for virtual appointments. Each ward in our stake will be helping to fill these welcome baskets for one or two units, and the Minneapolis stake will be joining in.
A designated point person for each ward will be sharing the list and directions on how the items will be gathered. There will be opportunities to donate things individually or to go in together with others. We hope to have all of the Amber Apartments items by the end of November. Residents will begin to move in mid December.
This is a great opportunity to "minister to the one." Watch for more information in your own ward. There is a link below to more information and a video about the project.
We're grateful for this opportunity.
Thank you,
Jackie Morley
