The Food Shelf Is Here To Serve Rush City!

Hunger Facts:  During the first part of 2012, one in eight Minnesotans indicated there were times in the past year when they did not have enough

money to buy food.

Visits to food shelves have increased 164% over the past decade.

The three main programs to address hunger in Minnesota – food support, food shelves and subsidized school lunches – all hit record levels of

use in 2012.

The U.S. Census showed that almost 200,000 Minnesota children lived in poverty in 2011. The number of Minnesota children living in families below

185% of the federal poverty level is more than 393,000.

In the last decade, high housing costs, prescription drug costs and unemployment have forced more seniors and working families to rely on emergency

food sources.

 

Food donations can be dropped off during food shelf assistance hours. Every Tuesday 2:00 to 4:45.

THE FOOD SHELF NEEDS VOLUNTEERS!

The Food Shelf needs volunteers to help with food distribution and garden help. Extra garden produce is always appreciated!
