Meals on Wheels programs have existed in the Twin Cities for over 40 years providing nutritious home-delivered meals and a friendly visit from a volunteer to seniors and persons with disabilities.

Nativity Lutheran Church has provided funding and volunteer drivers to Meals on Wheels for more than 10 years.

Most recently Nativity presented a check for $$$ to help support this mission.

Eastside Meals on Wheels would like to thank everyone at Nativity Lutheran Church, not only for the generous donation made to us this March, but also for supporting us through donations and volunteers since our inception 44 years ago!

If you know someone who might benefit now or in the future in receiving meals, or if you are interested in volunteering, please contact us (see below*). Thank you for being there for 44 years!

Meals on Wheels is an important part of the Hunger Community Outreach Team. This team responds to the reality that many people are unable to acquire sufficient food to meet basic nutritional needs.  This team increases awareness and understanding of hunger and food security in our community.

*If you know anyone who is interested in receiving meals contact Kelly Salseg,  Outreach Coordinator for Eastside Meals on Wheels – 612-781-5555.

Did you know that Nativity awards college scholarships each year? These scholarships are available to any Nativity member attending an ELCA Lutheran college or seminary. You can fill out the application and find out more here: APPLICATION FORM

High school seniors must submit a copy of their transcript. Current college students must submit either a record of college grades or a statement from an Academic Dean or Registrar that they are in “Good Academic Standing”.

The form must be filled out complete, with grade report, and submitted by the due date: Monday, April 30th, 2018.

If you have additional questions, please contact Lindsay Kimball at lindsay.kimball@gmail.com.

The funds for these scholarships come from interest earned by education-related funds in the church’s Endowment Fund. Most Lutheran colleges have scholarship “match programs,” which stretch our scholarship dollars even further.

Thanks to the families who have set up endowment funds that provide college and seminary scholarships to our Nativity Church community! If you’d like to make a donation to the college scholarship endowment fund, please make your check to Nativity Church, and on the envelope or in the member line, please write “endowment college scholarship.” This is another way to support our youth!
