Our primary food sources come from the Channel One Food Bank in Rochester, MN as well as Second Harvest Heartland. We also receive donations from generous area businesses such as Costco, Hy-vee, Kwik Trip, Target, Walmart, and Cashwise. In addition, area farmers will donate fresh produce during the harvest season. Many food donations are contributed by our amazing community members. We do occasionally get miscellaneous delivery trucks.

Both are appreciated. However, monetary donations allow us to buy approximately 10 times as much food through our food bank in comparison to what you can purchase at the grocery store.

At this time this isn't a service that we are able to offer. We do have access to other area resources that may be able to assist you. Please reach out to us to discuss options.

If both parties live at the same address then they would be considered a household and therefore must register together as one family unit.
