Hello LWV MEPH members,
Before COVID, members in our league periodically selected a local community group needing assistance (labor, donations, etc) to adopt for a fixed time period. Those interested and able to participate could as they saw fit. This is a voluntary activity. 
Our league is re-launching Call to Actions, with the initial call to donate to specific local food shelves.
Our communities of Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, and Hopkins are served by two food shelves: 
  • Intercongregation Communities Association (ICA) Food Shelf in Minnetonka (ICA) and 
  • People Reaching Out to People (PROP) Food Shelf (https://propfood.org/) in Eden Prairie. 
Likely, you are aware of the vital and long-standing work they do. Their missions are to offer continuous service to our neighbors in need by providing food and/or financial assistance and guidance that empowers their path toward self‑sufficiency. Unfortunately, both organizations have recently seen dramatic increases in families requesting assistance and have placed requests for donations. 
Our Call to Action is to respond to these requests in 1 of 2 ways, both of which are voluntary:
  • Monetary donations directly to the organization of your choice:
  • Item donations
    • Both the ICA and PROP have Amazon Wishlists posted on their websites (see links above)
    • Physical donations – food or other items.  These organizations have noted items of particular need: 
      • Food: tortillas, plantain flour, white rice, canned mango/guava, goya/tajin seasonings, cooking oil, shelf stable minced garlic, sugar (small bags), lentils, chickpeas, spices, whole ginger root, coffee, tea
      • Items: diapers (including adult diapers), baby wipes, bars of soap, laundry detergent (pods desired), sanitary pads, toothpaste, shampoo
  • Depending on your preference, items can be dropped off at the organization of choice (see below for location and hours) OR you can contact Kathleen Kaysinger at 952-215-2856 (call/text) either for a pick-up or to drop off. If we see a demand for pick ups, we may request another volunteer. 
  • Collected items will be divided and delivered to each organization. 
  • This Call to Action will be ongoing until May. 
    Monthly item collections/food shelf deliveries will be on or about the third week of each month, with a reminder 1 week beforehand. 
    Questions can be directed to Kathleen Kaysinger, 952-215-2856 or [email protected].
