The Hometown Resource Center and Food Shelf is a consistent and trusted source of support and resources to Southeastern Minnesotan’s in need. In order to provide that consistency, and have people in need trust in us, we rely on our sustainer donors. As a monthly donor, you’ll know you are making a difference each and every day — ensuring that we can be more resilient together. 

We are a community food shelf and resource center: here for the community, and able to open our doors thanks to the community. We’re so thankful for the trust our monthly donors place in us. Being a Food Shelf Sustainer makes you an essential part of our work to serve your neighbors in need across our community. This dependable, monthly support allows us to plan so even more children, seniors, veterans, families, and individuals in Southeastern Minnesota have enough healthy food on the table.  Thank you for your interest in being a fundamental part of our mission to nourish people, build solutions, and empower communities.

We communicate our weekly Thrift Store sale through our Facebook page. Be sure to Like and Follow to receive the updates!

#1: Reminder – DO NOT leave donations outside the building during non-store hours. Please contact us to make alternative arrangements if you cannot visit during regular hours.

#2: Please refrain from donating expired food to the Food Shelf. Handling food we cannot distribute is a burden on our staff/volunteer’s resources and time.

Thanks for your understanding and continued support!
