The St. Martin’s Feed Our Children program is part of the Middleton Cross Plains Area School District Weekend Food Program which works to prevent food insecurity in the district. Along with five other churches, we provide a weekly bag of food to students who are enrolled in the school program for the current academic year.
St. Martin's Quilters meet the second Monday of each month during the school year to Tie One On! Join us to pin and tie colorful pieces of fabric together to create one of-a-kind quilts that are donated to several local and international ministries, including Lutheran World Relief. Locally quilts have been donated to sleep in heavenly peace for distribution to those in need, and a few are always held in reserve for emergency requests.
St. Martin’s garden provides a varity of homegrown produce for WayForward Food Pantry and Heights Unlimited.
St. Martin’s organizes and facilitates an annual Cross Plains community bed build for the SHP WI- Madison Chapter on church grounds. Sturdy beds are constructed and quilts, pillows and linens donated for local children, many who have never had a bed of their own. The SHP tagline is, “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town!”
Since the inception of the Giving Tree, now in its third decade, the congregation has fulfilled thousands of wishes for children in the Middleton Cross Plains Area School District (and their siblings) whose families are financially stressed or in crisis mode during the Christmas season. Several area businesses and organizations participate in fulfilling these wishes.
