Groveland Emergency Food Shelf, located on the Groveland Avenue side of Plymouth Congregational Church (1900 Nicollet Avenue), is part of a five-church effort to feed food-insecure youth and adults. Per month, the Food Shelf sees about 2,000 people and hands out 44,000 pounds of food. It provides three to five days of food at a time, an emergency supply. Volunteers stock shelves, greet clients, pick up and deliver food or raise funds. Adults are served Mondays-Thursdays, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Fridays 10:00am - 1:00pm (hours subject to change).
Groveland Food for Youth serves homeless and transitional youth. Youth are served Tuesday & Thursday: 4PM-7PM.
The Food Shelf is continually addressing the need for an ongoing supply of fresh vegetables and fruits.
