We want to thank you for your support of the AGAPE Gift Market and mini markets in November/December. Whether you purchased items, donated items, helped create items for us to sell, made lefse, assembled food items or volunteered your time-we are most grateful!

The market was a great success! In total, we had net profits of over $26,400 to donate out to support Disaster Relief, Local & Global Mission efforts. There was also  additional ministry impact of almost $7,400  which supported Dorcas Circle mission efforts, Quilters ministry, Seeds of Hope University fund, Resurrection Lutheran Church (El Salvador building project), Trinity Preschool, Bricks to Bread, Interfaith Outreach, Salem Lutheran Church – Mpls (partner church), Peruvian orphanage, and Opportunity International Colombia project. The disbursement of the $26,400 net profits supported the following:

• Local – Orono and Westonka Schools (helping low income/homeless families); Salem Lutheran Church (partner church of Trinity in Mpls, to support community outreach work), Interfaith Outreach & WeCan (supporting families in the local communities), and Washburn Center for Children (supporting children’s mental health).
• Disaster Relief  – Lutheran Disaster Response (Hurricane Ian)
• Global  – Lutheran Church in El Salvador (supporting families with food and supplies for new roof for 10 families affected by Tropical storm Julia)
