Mission Trip Opportunity!
Grant #7 Now Funded!
Concordia Seminary Fort Wayne Food Co-op is open 50 weeks per year for weekly shopping . The funds from this Mission Grant will be used to purchase weekly-perishable food items, diapers, wipes, paper products to fill the shelves of the Food Co-op. The Co-op currently spends approximately $7,700 a month on items such as eggs, cheese, milk, ground beef, fresh fruits and vegetables.
This Food Co-op enables seminary students and their families to shop there at no cost to themselves. Nearly 60 per cent of the students are married, second career with families. The seminary students no longer have the same financial flow of funds but continue to have the same financial needs.
This Food Co-op has been in operation for almost 50 years and continues operating through gifts, grants and endowments. Because the Co-op is such a vital part of the seminary students’ lives, it is important that the seminary continue to raise funds to supply food for the Food Co-op.
President Cinda Poppe is seen here presenting the check for $15,000 to the Food Co-op.

It is best to fly into Ontario airport as it is closer to the hotel we will be staying at. Please email your arrival time to the airport to me and if a large number of us are arriving at the same time we will see if we can get a shuttle for the group from the airport to the hotel. The hotel does not have shuttle service so you need to take a taxi or uber.
