Next Free Food Distribution
We’re distributing free food boxes (with mixed produce, dairy, meat and cheese) through October. There are no eligibility restrictions (including income or state/city residency)—anyone who is in need of food assistance is welcome. You can pick up for your family, friends, and neighbors in need (limit 4 households). Distributions will be in a low-contact, safe, drive-through format.
Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank provides food through a regional network of non-profit agency partners (food shelves, soup kitchens, shelters and other programs).
If you are a furloughed government employee you qualify for our services. Simply call (218)727-5653 if you are looking for resources or have questions.
