Monetary Donations

Monetary donations are the most helpful and can be made through the donate link below or sent to Joyce at 3041 Fremont Avenue South, Minneapolis 55408.

Joyce spends nearly 50% of our budget purchasing food from Second Harvest Hearland and the Food Group. For every $1.00 donated we can purchase $2.20 of food from our foodbanks.

Food and Personal Care Donations 

We accept food donations on Fridays from 9-1 or other times by appointment.  If you have a large donation or if fridays dont work, please call and we can work something out.

We accept unopened, unexpired food and some of our most needed food items are ethnic and Hispanic items, specialty items like shelf-stable dairy-free milk and Gluten Free items, cereal, peanut butter, granola bars, rice, dried beans and canned meat. Please do not bring expired items; we will throw them away.

We regularly need non-food items like dish soap, laundry soap, wipes and diapers, shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, feminine care products, and other personal hygiene items.

We also have an Amazon Wish List, where you can view the items we currently need and purchase them directly from your Amazon account for delivery to Joyce. All donations are 100% tax deductible. Click HERE to access.
