What’s Included
Every month, our team of staff and volunteers pack groceries for around 85 older adults living in our service area. Bags include fruit, vegetables, and non-perishable food. Fetch! Clients also choose what kind of milk they would like, including non-dairy options. Each client also chooses from a set of protein options. With these choices, we hope that each client gets a bag of food that they can use and enjoy. For example, a bag may include milk, chicken, mandarins, eggs, and broccoli. However, bags change every month and depend on what we are able to purchase and what has been donated to our program.
Next Delivery of Free Groceries
Our March delivery will be on Tuesday, May 17th. Orders close when we reach capacity or on May 6th, whichever is soonest. Call soon as spots fill quickly. Request at 651-335-8840 or 763-325-3473.
