Mission Statement
Community Emergency Service transforms lives by serving neighbors, sharing resources and becoming community.
About This Cause
CES meets hunger where it is a critical need, on client's food shelves with Home Delivery to low-income and physically limited individuals and Meals on Wheels to seniors. CES fosters community among its clients, because a strong community is the best hope for sustainable relief from hunger and poverty. CES partners with other community-based services that aid clients in building a foundation for stability and independence. Founded in 1971 by Pastor William Berg, CES originally functioned as an outreach of Augustana Lutheran Church to offer critical aid to Minneapolis residents. Decades later, it stands as a fully independent, expanded nonprofit with the largest Meals on Wheels program in the state. Based in the most ethnically diverse neighborhood in Minneapolis, CES staff and volunteers are on the frontlines of providing food, hope, and compassion to our multi-generational, multi-cultural, low-income clientele. We strive to serve our neighbors in need without distinction or test, with dignity and understanding. Your support will provide low-income seniors, families with children, and adults across Minneapolis with healthy and culturally relevant food, emergency financial and material assistance, and referrals to additional resources and services.
