Matthew 25

Matthew 25 focuses on neighborhood revitalization on the west side of Cedar Rapids, specifically in the areas of food, housing and education. Groundswell, the pay-it-forward café, welcomes both paying and nonpaying guests to enjoy fresh, healthy and locally sourced meals. Cultivate Hope Urban Farm grows food for the cafe and the community, serving as a platform for educating both students and adults about food. Transform Week brings together more than 300 volunteers to work on more than 20 home projects that aid homeowners in repairs and updates such as flooring, painting, fencing, and beyond. The Tool Library is an affordable resource for anyone in the community who needs to borrow tools to work on their home, garden or other projects.
