Amid Protests, South Mpls. Churches Provide Masks, Water

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) - Amid demonstrations, local churches are providing relief for those protesting the death of George Floyd.

Calvary Church on Chicago Ave. has remained closed for the past couple of months due to COVID-19. However, on Tuesday evening, they set up booths outside of the church to hand out masks, hand sanitizer, food, and water.

They continued the practice on Wednesday night with nurses on site.

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, near the looted Target store on Lake Street and Hiawatha Avenue, opened their building as a medic station.

Most of the injuries they served were tear gas-related.

In anticipation of Thursday night's protests, Holy Trinity continues to accept donations of flashlights, power banks, water, tourniquets, and paper towels.
