WeCAN Shoe Drive Begins June 9
Hi Lake Fellowship members and friends,
This Sunday, May 4th is the last Soup Sunday until we resume meeting in September. Maia Larson and family members from the children’s program will be bringing something yummy to share with us all. You remember how this works, you get something tasty to eat and you donate $$ to the charity of choice.
Thank you Maia and her band of busy little hands for the goodies, please show them your appreciation.
Dear generous Lake Fellowship members and friends,
Sunday, May 4th, is the last orange bag (NFP) non perishable food donation until September. You will hear about how much we donated (#’s of food, $$, personal items) over the past 8 months at the annual meeting, as well as plans to make donations easier starting this September. I will not be attending the annual meeting, so let me take this opportunity to thank you all for your giving spirit!
Lake Fellowship's Les Kraus Charitable Outreach Group is sharing the following news from WeCAN:
Dear WeCAN friends,
I am grateful and proud to announce that WeCAN was selected as the 2024 Not-for-Profit Organization of the Year by the Excelsior-Lake Minnetonka Chamber of Commerce!
Lake Fellowship will participate in WeCAN's March FoodShare Challenge, via our Neighborhood Food Project (NFP/green/orange bag) monthly food collection. More information from WeCAN about this event below. We look forward to your support of these important food and fund raisers to help our community.

WeCAN's Annual Valentine's Day Auction is Live!
Hi all, it’s time to continue our commitment to Lake Fellowship’s Neighborhood Food Project (NFP)! You all know how this works, you get some (non perishable) groceries/personal items and bring them to LF (or have a friend deliver them) on the first Sunday of the month (Sept- May) and Larry Muehlberg (thank you Larry and Peggy) will deliver the items to WeCAN’s food shelf and mobile market on Monday. We have a few “Green/Orange Bags” at the A-frame, so feel free to bring your donations and fill up a bag. WeCAN also takes cash or checks (WeCan Food Shelf).
Hello Lake Fellowship members/friends. I am wishing for fewer people that are food insecure during 2025! Lake Fellowship has donated approximately 50 lbs of food/month, $100.00 and 20 personal items. That is outstanding!
I am challenging you to increase the amount of food donated/month to 75lbs. We start this challenge this Sunday, Jan. 5th.
You’ve got this Lake Fellowship.
Hello Lake Fellowship (LF) members and friends, Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Please remember to bring your food donation to LF this Sunday and some cash (or a check) for Soup Sunday.
The Wendt’s are making chili (Vegetarian and Turkey) for Soup Sunday, hopefully it will warm you a little during this cold weekend and the $$ donations you make will help a community agency assist in providing help to families with food insecurity.
WeCAN is hosting its annual Winter Coat Drive on November 5th—Election Day—and they're looking for a few more volunteers to join the effort. If you have some time to spare and want to give back to your community, this is a great opportunity!
