Food Donations

Looking to donate to the Food Shelf?

Since 1972, Neighbors has been providing food and hygiene items to a growing number of people from Dakota County and surrounding communities. Thanks to our generous donors, including individuals and many local businesses, Neighbors can provide a variety of healthy and nutritious foods to clients.  Clients choose food from our shelves that best meets their wants and needs, with help from one of our volunteers.

To continue serving the community, Neighbors needs your help. Donations of food and funds help those in your neighborhood who may not have enough to eat. Click here to learn more about donating to Neighbors.

Donations can be dropped off at the food shelf – located at 222 Grand Avenue West in South St. Paul – between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Ring the doorbell next to the garage door on the lower level

Food Collection Drives

Neighbors provides food and resources to people living in our community each year and a good portion of our food donations come from community food and fund drives held by businesses, faith communities, and civic organizations. Please email Cody at cody@neighborsmn.org if you would like to help your neighbors by holding a food drive.
