Thank you Servant Ministries
Thank you Servant Ministries for bringing 120 backpacks to the Waconia Food Shelf for the children of our families! What a great mission and so appreciated!
Waconia & Cologne P.O. mail carriers
Thank you to the Waconia P.O. mail carriers under the leadership of Jason Leinen for the wonderful donation of 1275 pounds of food this year! It will help so much during the summer months when food donations are lower!
Thanks, also, to the Cologne P.O. carriers for donating 544 pounds of food to us! We owe a great big thank you to all of the folks who put out food for this effort!
Winter Needs – 2019
The Waconia Food Shelf is currently in need of the following items:
Baby Food
Priority Cold weather items: soups, stews, chili, hot cereal, cocoa, tea, and coffee. Personal care items such as toothbrushes (single pack, please, we cannot break a multiple pack apart), toothpaste, deodorant (men’s and woman’s), bar soap, shampoo, and women’s personal items such as tampax. Many of our clients are pursuing finding work and personal hygiene care is critical.
Helpful
Hearty soups that can be added to rice or noodles to make a meal are needed. Canned meals that children like such as Beef Ravioli are needed for the winter. Other “kid-friendly” items are also welcomed.
Watch our sign outside on the corner of Elm and Main for item requests.
Thank you St. Boni Lions Club
Thank you to the St. Boni Lions Club for the fantastic donation of 639 pounds of food and $500! That will be a great contribution to our MnFoodShare March Campaign this year!
