Las Estrellas is a Dual Immersion Elementary School in Northeast Minneapolis. This school was Mill City’s first partnership in the com– munity. Little did we know that once they agreed to be the place where we hosted our worship services, a long-lasting reciprocal partnership would develop. We believe that Las Estrellas School — the staff, students, and families — helps us live out our mission to love our community in the name of Jesus.

Mill City Church is proud to be the birthplace of Every Meal! The mission of Every Meal is to fight child hunger through school and com– munity partnerships. What started in 2010 has now turned into a growing non-profit, serving the Twin Cities and Greater Minne- sota. Through these partnerships, a week- end’s food supply is given to kids to sustain them over the weekend, so they can come to school on Monday morning ready to learn.

My Very Own Bed gives children their very own bed—a place to sleep, dream, and re- charge. All too often, children transitioning to permanent housing are sleeping on the floor, on an air mattress, or sharing a bed with their parents or a sibling. By providing new beds and Dream Kits, they give children a space of their own while supporting produc- tive sleep to help them learn and grow. My Very Own Bed has its headquarters in North- east Minneapolis.

IMBY flips the switch on “Not in my Back Yard” and says: In My Back Yard. IMBY sup- ports the efforts of organizations and cities to build and provide affordable housing wher- ever they can. They advocate for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) as a housing solution. An ADU is a unit that is typically attached
or separate to an existing house or struc- ture, but built on existing land. IMBY strives to make Minnesota a place where folks can come and know they are not only welcome but supported.
