- BEYOND BREAD TO THE BREAD OF LIFE. BEYOND OURSELVES TO CHRIST.
Hours: Monday – Wednesday, 1:00pm to 4:00pm
Bonus Friday: Friday, 1:00pm to 3:00pm
No appointment needed, visitors are served first-come, first served. You may visit the food shelf 1 time per month. Our neighborhood food shelf is a SuperShelf food program, meaning we strive to offer a wide variety of fresh and healthy food options in a welcoming environment for you and your family. We operate on a client-choice model, meaning you get to “shop” for the foods that you enjoy and that are best for your family’s food needs.
Skip the line and stay safe! The CES Food Shelf is offering curbside pick-ups during our regular Food Shelf hours. Please call 612-870-1125 to place your food order and to set up a pick-up time for your groceries.
Hello! We are so glad you found us! We all need a little help at times, and picking up some extra groceries is a great way to help stretch your budget when things are tight. We look forward to meeting you when you arrive, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about your visit:
No I.D. is required to sign up for the food shelf. We will, however, ask for your name and an address (or your current city of residence if you are houseless), and the number of persons in your household or family.
There is a short form that needs to be filled out for your first visit. You can download and view the form here. Forms will be available at CES for you to fill out. In addition, you will also be asked to provide some demographic information about your household if you are able. Providing this information is very helpful for us and encouraged, but it is not required. All of your information is kept private with us.
We are a no boundaries food shelf, meaning we serve anyone from any city. We do, however, encourage you to access food shelves that are in your neighborhood. Please visit the Hunger Solutions website for a map of food shelf locations.
