  • Food Shelf Services

    Food Shelf: Food shopping options stabilized in the last year, with the most popular offering being in-person shopping at our Stillwater site. Families not wishing to come inside may also receive food curbside. The third option is home delivery. Aside from having home delivery originate from here, we also manage the administrative work across a three-organization partnership that includes Open Cupboard and White Bear Lake Emergency Food Shelf. Other off-site collaboration continued, specifically at Cimarron, a nearby community. We committed to supporting twice-monthly food distributions in this Lake Elmo neighborhood. Overall food program numbers reflect an increase of 89% in the number of individuals served and an 87% decrease in the number of households served. This indicates larger sized families utilizing our programs. We had a total of 33,630 visits (duplicated count, indicating level of use), an increase of 90% over the prior year.
