10-1 pm Migros Aid Garden.     Come and help out and get our garden beds ready for the 2023 season.  This is our 5th year for the garden! Last year we grew 1,000+ lbs of produce and gave it away FREE to families:  tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, okra, and more. We hire young people to work in the garden throughout the summer as a part-time work and a way to mentor.
SIGN UP HERE C.S. Lewis masterfully wrote, "We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of GOD. The world is crowded with HIM. He walks everywhere incognito."

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: Lacy Turnquist, the Missions coordinator of Eagle Church in Whitestown, said, ‘ During our experience, my eyes were opened to the “International” area of Indy. I love that we can not only experience but engage with different cultures right here in our city.” Sara Ford participated in the retreat and said, “Join Migros Aid for a day of delicious food, experiential learning, and thoughtful prayer as you immerse yourself into the many cultures represented in Indianapolis! Come with an open mind and heart prepared to learn about Migros Aid and its mission to love the nations right here in our city!” Joe Garner said, “I witnessed generosity that we see very little in our current US culture.”

In China there is a proverb, “If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.” Nelson Mandela of South Africa said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Migros Academy is our effort to empower refugee students in their education through tutoring.    It is a 1-hour commitment every Tuesday @ our ministry center.     New volunteers are welcome to come shadow to determine if they want to help.    We have more students than tutors and wish to increase engagement and involvement and need more tutors. Please email us at info@migrosaid.org to get more info or with any questions.
