Hope Lutheran Teen Power’s Annual Shoe Collection

Clean out your closets and bring your shoes, boots, sandals, and other footwear to Hope Lutheran Church! Give away your gently worn shoes to help to provide shoes that aren't worn or an old pair that may end up in a landfill. Give those shoes to Hope Lutheran Teen Power and know that steps are being taken to make that footwear useable.

Hope Lutheran Teen Power is collecting footwear now. We will gather footwear and deliver our donations to one of the drop-off points, Schuler Shoes in St. Cloud, MN. They shared with us that after the footwear is donated, the shoes are paired and sorted, and the footwear goes to four different places. The newer ones may be donated to the shelter food shelf and then sold at shelters for $5.00/pair. The money is then donated to the shelter’s food shelf. Some of the shoes stay in Minnesota with a program called “Shoe Away Hunger”, and some go to other countries where they are needed for people without shoes. The rest, if pretty worn out, or are singles, are shredded and used for playground surfacing of rubber mulch.

It is estimated that approximately 400 million children worldwide, more than the entire population of the U.S., live in poverty. Many of these children will grow up never having had a pair of shoes, resulting in significant ramifications for their health and well-being. Lacking the proper footwear, countless children will be unable to attend the school.

Please clean out your closets and bring your bags and boxes of your household’s gently worn footwear to Hope Lutheran Church. Help us to promote “Shoe Away Hunger”.

Minneota Area Mission Trip

Plans for the 2025 mission trip are in full swing. Students have voted and we will be heading to the Perry, FL area to assist with hurricane relief through the TEAMeffort Missions organization. We have 49 students signed up for the trip along with 10 chaperones. The trip will be June 22 - 27, 2025.

Mark your calendars for February 2, and February 16! On February 2, we will be serving breakfast after the 8:15 am Mass at the Wilno Catholic Church. The meal will include egg bake, muffins and rolls. On February 16th, we will be hosting our annual Spaghetti Supper fundraiser from 5:00-7:00 pm at Hope Lutheran Church. The meal will include a spaghetti dinner with breadsticks and dessert. Take-out will be available, too. We will also have a Tastefully Simple booth set up and bake sale available.

God continues to bless us with the gracious giving and support of our congregations and communities. Please keep our group in your prayers as we continue to plan and fund raise for the 2025 mission trip. If you have any questions regarding the 2025 Mission Trip, please contact Emily Hennen at emhaugland@hotmail.com or 507-828-6797.

Cemetery Sexton Needed—If you would like to volunteer, please contact the council or the church office.
