Shoebox Christmas Gifts
Help Us Hit Our Goal of 200 Gifts!
Beginning September 12–October 24, we will be collecting donations to create Shoebox Christmas Gifts for Native American children and youth. This ministry is in partnership with the United Methodist Mission in Spirit Lake, ND where youth and adults from Hennepin have served in years past. Hennepin is joining several other United Methodist churches to collect donations for gifts for over 6,000 young people living on reservations in the Dakotas and Minnesota.

Each shoebox will include an assortment of toys, winter gear, art supplies, and hygiene essentials. The cost to build each shoebox is $25. To sponsor Christmas Shoeboxes please click here: haumc.org/events
On November 6, Hennepin youth will join youth from all over the Twin Cities to pack the shoeboxes as a part of the Serve MSP Fall Day of Service. If you would like to donate toys, we will be collecting for infants through teenagers. These gifts can be dropped off in the donation bin in the East Entry or shipped directly to 511 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55403.
