Hi, Lake Fellowship (LF) members and friends!
I am very excited to announce the continuation of “Soup Sunday” for charity at the A-frame this Sunday (9-7-25)! What is Soup Sunday you ask, well it’s a brainchild of member, Vicki Larson. The idea is to serve soup (or stew) on the first Sunday of every month after the program with members and friends. You will enjoy soup or a light snack and contribute any amount you can to a charity in our community.
We started this community fund raiser in Jan. 2024 and have since that time donated over $1,500.00 to local organizations to help reduce food insecurity. I am very proud to be part of a community (Lake Fellowship) that gives back to those in need, and I thank you for your generous contributions.
This Sunday, The Wendts will make a chili and collect your donations for The Food Group.
I will put up a list at LF for you to sign up for making and serving “soup” on the first Sunday of each month we meet for the next 8 months. They are as follows:
October 5th
November 2nd
December 7th
January 4th (2026)
February 1st
March 1st
April 5th
May 3rd
Here is a suggested list of vetted organizations that we can contribute to with our Soup Sunday donations, they include the following:
2025-26 Lake Fellowship Recipients*:
- Hmong American Farmers Association (HAFA)
- Humanity Alliance
- MN FoodShare
- Dream of Wild Health
- BrightSide Produce
- The Food Group
- Renewing the Countryside (RTC)

You're welcome to suggest any organization you have vetted, especially in the greater Lake Minnetonka area.
*All of the organizations listed (above) have been vetted by Lakewinds Coop.
We hope Soup Sunday continues monthly so LF members and friends can contribute to organizations that help reduce food insecurity in our community.
Thanks,
Tim Wendt
