Channel One
Channel One Regional Food Bank serves people experiencing hunger in 14 counties in southeastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Channel One is a great opportunity to get involved while getting to know other parishioners. In the past, the Co-Cathedral of St. John’s has partnered to create large group volunteer opportunities. We are happy to offer the opportunity to serve and grow in community every month on the first Tuesday of the month. Each shift lasts two hours starting at 6:00pm and ending at 8:00pm. You can check the Updates for upcoming volunteer dates or plan ahead and sign up. Contact Michelle Budraka for more information or with questions!
