Pack with Purpose

Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge (MNTC)  is a nonprofit organization that provides treatment and recovery services to those struggling with addiction.  This month we have an opportunity support those in recovery programs and make an impact on their lives.  MNTC’s mission is to assist adults and teens in gaining freedom from chemical addictions and other life-controlling problems by addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.  

A welcome bag is offered in the women’s program to help them start off on the right foot.  If you’d like to contribute to these bags, please drop off any of the following items in the Pack with Purpose bin located in the faith formation gathering space.  Donations can be dropped off anytime through the month of May.  ** only items that are new and in original packaging can be accepted. 

Toothbrushes (Single Packs only) 
Toothpaste (Single Packs only) 
Hotel/Travel size Shampoo & Conditioner
Reusable Water Bottle (16 oz or smaller)  
Travel Size Hairbrush
