Groveland Emergency Food Shelf Inc

Our Mission: Feed the Hungry

We believe people in need should not live in hunger.

Every gift starts with a seed. For more than 50 years, Groveland Food Shelf has been helping feed our Minneapolis neighbors facing food insecurity. At Groveland, your generosity helps that seed grow into nourishing food, moments of joy, and the reminder that our neighbors are not alone.

A seed of generosity. 32% of Minnesota households with children experience food insecurity. During Give to the Max this November, we're working to raise $100,000 to help meet our community's growing needs. And your gift can go twice as far: the first $13,000 donated during the month of November will be matched by the Groveland Board

A seed of dignity and nourishment. Each day we provide fresh and shelf-stable food to 150–200 guests with kindness, dignity and respect. As a low barrier food shelf - all are welcome, no appointments, no proof of income, guests pick the food they want from what we have. Each month your support helps us distribute over 150,000 pounds of needed food to our community. 

A seed of connection. With fewer than a dozen paid staff members, our mission is powered by local volunteers from faith communities, businesses, service organizations, and the broader community, who together contribute thousands of hours each year. Their generosity—and the generosity of our supporters—keeps nutritious food on the tables of our neighbors and our mission moving forward.

Sow the Seeds. Grow a Harvest of Hope.
