Central Freeborn's Soup & Pie/Dessert Supper
Central Freeborn Lutheran Church will be hosting
their Soup & Dessert Supper once again in 2025!
It will be held on September 22, 2025 from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm.
The proceeds of this event will be split equally between:
1. Food for Backpacks Program (Albert Lea)
Addressing Childhood Hunger in Our Community
If a child is hungry, they struggle to focus and learn in school.
1 in 4 preschool - 7th grade children in Albert Lea do not have enough food to eat over the weekend.
100% of every dollar given goes to purchase food packets.
The Food for Backpacks program launched in 2017 with 33 students at one elementary school and today, funded by donations and grants, the program feeds more than 580 children (or more than 25% of the student body in preschool - 7th grade) in the Albert Lea School District each week in partnership with area churches and the district. The cost for the food packets is $4.53 per student each week.
Each backpack is filled with a food packet for the weekend, to feed one person. The packets include 2 breakfasts, 2 snacks and 2 dinners. Meal preparation is very minimal and the foods are healthy.
2. Life Center of Freeborn County
LIFE Center welcomes, values, respects and supports people of all abilities.
Their mission is to advocate passionately while compassionately delivering programs that expand opportunities, empower people and enrich lives while having fun.
