Outreach Ministry Team

Bountiful Basket (previously called CAP)

Bountiful Basket is a food pantry ministry located in the downtown Chaska that feeds the hungry of Carver County through direct donations of non-perishable food that feed God's most vulnerable children and families.  Participants at Crown of Glory bring food week after week as part of their returning thanks to God.  Donations may be brought to the gathering space outside the sanctuary and placed in the shopping cart.  All food items collected are delivered at the end of the month.
