Minnesota Food Share Month: Kandiyohi County Food Shelf is competing with other food shelves in Minnesota for grant dollars in a campaign that ends April 6. The amount of grant dollars received is based upon the amount of cash and food each food shelf receives. The more money raised, the bigger the grant will be from the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches
Below are ways to contribute:
- Donations: Non-perishable food and cash are welcome; $20 will buy almost $200 worth of food through the food bank Second Harvest Heartland.
- Checks: Mail to 624 Pacific Ave. S.W., Willmar MN 56201.
