Throughout March 2019, we plan to Pack the Pews with food as part of the MN Food Share Campaign.
How you can help:
- Monetary donations: we suggest checks include “Local Hunger” in the memo line. This will provide the ability to assign designated gifts where most needed, along with setting a priority of the funds to support the SOTV Food Shelf. Give now.
- Donate non-perishable items. Since we are now a Super Shelf and are trying to offer healthier choices, please consider this when purchasing items for the food shelf. This month we are collecting non-perishable items of all kinds; including toiletries, cleaning products, canned items, and boxed food. Please check expiration dates; we cannot accept food that is expired.

Minnesota Food Share envisions a Minnesota where all residents have access to healthy food and no one struggles with food insecurity.
