May
In May, Nativity will help babies and toddlers in families challenged by homelessness by hosting a “baby shower” donation drive. Donations will go to toddlers and infants staying at People Serving People. The two largest programs that assist low-income mothers, SNAP (food support) and WIC, do not cover basic needs like diapers and baby wipes.
May is Homelessness Awareness Month. 
Over the past 5 years the Nativity Community has collaborated with three organizations that work every day with persons, who for a variety of reasons, find themselves with no place to call home. We will have featured speakers from these three agencies at weekend services.
Our partner organizations include:
PEOPLE SERVING PEOPLE
People Serving People is the largest and most comprehensive family homeless shelter in Minnesota. Among the guests served by People Service People, 60% are children with an average of 6 years old.
To celebrate our successful “baby shower” donation drive for People Serving People we will serve cake throughout the weekend of May 20 & 21 after worship.
LUTHERAN SOCIAL SERVICE, METRO HOMELESS YOUTH
Lutheran Social Service offers a holistic service to run away, homeless and street-dependent youth ages 16-21 in the Twin Cities Metro Area. These services are committed to helping youth build on assets and strengths and connecting them with supportive adults.
