Food Ministry Feeds 1,500 During the Month
Minnehaha is home to the neighborhood Food Shelf. We serve the area between the Crosstown and Lake Street, Cedar Avenue and the river. Each month we serve more than 600 households—about 1,500 men, women and children—and distribute approximately 28,500 pounds of food. It's an incredible mission that relies on volunteers.
The need for food continues to grow. Over the past year, for example, the number of people served at Minnehaha increased 250%.
