We can:

  • make purchases based on our inventory needs.
  • purchase fresh meat, milk, and eggs.

The food we distribute comes from your generosity. Our support comes from the State of Minnesota, various churches, businesses, organizations and individuals that work to ensure everyone has access to healthy food.
