The Meeker Area Food Shelf helps feed those in our community who are facing food insecurity. We provide a 3-5 day supply of food and serve around 350+ families each month.
Wow- Our Food Shelf keeps setting records. In the beginning of September, we served over 155 families in just a week! That was the most families we have helped in 1 single week.
We continue to see an increased number of community members in need and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. We are blessed to be able to help our community and we wouldn't be able to support our community members in need without the help of our community!
This year due to the significant increase in client usage, monetary donations are very important to our food shelf. They allow us to purchase food at a much lower rate through our food bank, Second Harvest Heartland, allowing us to get more food per dollar than at a grocery store. If you donate a $1 we can purchase $4 worth of food at the food bank.
Donations to our food shelf stay local! We provide food to those facing food insecurity out of our two locations (Litchfield, MN & Dassel, MN) as well as through our Mobile Food Shelf Program.
We also have a Power Up Snack Pack Program where we provide healthy snack foods for students over weekends and larger bags during Holiday Breaks.
