Food Pantry Restock
Sort, shelve, and pack weekend food bags with the Maplewood Food Bank crew.
June 19, 2027 · 9 AM – 1 PM · Citywide
Community Serve Day
Hundreds of us, dozens of projects, one morning loving Maplewood in practical ways.
About The Day 
Love with work gloves on
Twice a year we cancel the 10:30 service, pull on matching shirts, and scatter across Maplewood. Serve Day teams stock the food pantry, repaint classrooms at Roosevelt Elementary, clean up Miller Park, visit seniors, and wash cars for single moms — all before lunch.
No experience needed and every age has a role: kids pack hygiene kits, teens lead park crews, and anyone with a truck becomes instantly popular. We rally at 9:00 AM in the church parking lot for coffee, assignments, and prayer — then go.

Good To Know
Serve Day questions
Yes — kids 5 and up serve alongside a parent on the park, pantry, and senior-visit teams. Childcare for under-5s runs at the church from 9 to 12:30.
More than half our projects need smiles, not skills — packing bags, delivering flowers, holding ladders, and handing out water. Every team has a trained leader.
We serve rain or shine — outdoor teams shift to indoor projects (pantry, school interiors, card-writing for care homes) and the rally moves into the lobby.
