Join the movement to nourish our community! 🌟 On Saturday, 5/9, place non-perishable, non-expired food items in a bag by your mailbox or drop them off at your local post office. Together, we can make a difference for those in need. Special thanks to the Downtown Minneapolis Post Office who is collecting food for Groveland Emergency Food Shelf! 💪

Thank you to our amazing donors! With your support, we collected over $70,000 and close to 27,000 pounds of donated food during the MN FoodShare Challenge in March. Because of your generosity, people will have the food they need to sustain themselves while dealing with the daily challenges of making ends meet. We will also continue to provide supplemental food to local groups doing home delivery and providing meals. We couldn’t do this work without YOU. Thank you.

How can I help? That’s one of the most common questions we get asked. One option: a food drive. This month four churches are doing a special food drive. Each one is collecting as much as they can of one of our most requested items: coffee, cooking oil, breakfast cereal and ramen packets. While we can purchase some food at a huge discount over retail, items like these we can't. A huge shoutout to these churches, and to others, like you, who have done food drives for Groveland Food Shelf. We need you and appreciate you.

Your financial support during the March MN FoodShare Challenge helps Groveland Food Shelf continue the ongoing support of grassroots groups doing food delivery to hundreds of families still impacted by ICE activity in Minneapolis. Imagine living paycheck to paycheck, and missing two or three paydays. That makes it hard to fulfill your basic needs, much less pay rent and buy groceries. As long as there is need, families will continue to get the food we purchase with your generous donations. We believe food is a basic human right, and we intend to live by our beliefs. Our collective actions can spark meaningful change. Let's keep pushing forward!
