The Rock seeks to sow seeds of hope in our community. We do this through various outreach and compassion projects throughout the year. Compassion projects and kindness projects are designed to intentionally meet the real needs of real people: whether it's handing out coffee to college students during finals or holding a school supply drive for our former home, Jefferson Elementary School. Here are some of the things The Rock does to serve the community:
Each year The Rock sends a number of volunteers to help out at the Minnesota AIDs Walk. Volunteers can sign-up for various tasks including; registration, set-up crew, tear-down crew, route marshalls, or manning various tents. The MN AID walk proceeds go towards the MN AIDS Project.
Feed My Starving Children is a organization that prepares and packages life-sustaining food in Brooklyn Park. Once every other month The Rock has a compassion project there.
Once every other month The Rock volunteers at Our Savior's Housing to prepare and serve breakfast for the people there.
The Rock helps students to move in each fall at the University of Minnesota.
We hand out free refreshments, candy and Rock info cards at many events like:
The Rock collects bibles for mission trips and holds summer and winter supply drives for the homeless community.
For 10 years, The Rock held worship services at Jefferson Elementary School in Uptown Minneapolis. Eighty percent of the students that attend this school live at or below the poverty level. Some of the ways we serve the school are:
Jefferson Kids Carnival:
Each year the school has a carnival for the students to raise money for the school. The Rock sends a number of volunteers to the carnival to help out with the various games as well as to set-up and tear-down.
School Supply Drive:
The Rock has a school supply drive each fall for the students at Jefferson Elementary.
Sponsor a family for Christmas:
Each Christmas, The Rock sponsors between 2 and 4 families for Christmas.
These are just some of the various projects The Rock does to serve the community. If you would like to know more about our compassion projects, or would like to volunteer for one of the above projects. Please contact Marc Holtey.
