Serving Our Neighbors

Meals on Wheels
Meals-on-Wheels provides hot, nutritious, midday meals five days per week to persons age 60 and older and to others who cannot prepare adequate meals and are unable to leave their homes. Each meal provides one-third of the minimum daily nutrition requirement. Mayflower's annual contribution helps pay for food preparation and contributes to the cost of meals, plus a committed group of volunteers delivers meals for 5 days every 8 weeks. Mayflower has more than 30 volunteers who deliver 175-200 meals in an average week. We welcome volunteers who are available from 11:00 a.m. to noon on weekdays and have a car. To help with this vital service, call George Reimer at (612) 824-2518.

TRUST
Mayflower is a member of an ecumenical coalition of congregations in South Minneapolis called TRUST, Toward Renewed Unity and Service Together. Through TRUST, we work with other people of faith to strengthen community supports and provide care for those who need it. Mayflower has participated in the Parish Nurse Program, the Prayer Shawl Ministry, and Wreath of Love, and works with the TRUST Family Center at Judson. For more information, call Sally Witherall at (612) 869-0100 or Mike Peterson at (952) 922-2578 or visit TRUST.
