Food support is available to people in need

Description

Food is distributed to those who need it. The emergency food is typically made available through donations.

Additional Information

A client choice food shelf that offers a variety of nutritious foods for families in need.

In addition to addressing the immediate emergency need for food, Wright County Community Action (WCCA) assists residents to access other more long-term services that will help to assure the family has adequate resources in the future to provide for nutrition and other basic needs.

The Emergency Food Box Network distributes 30-pound emergency food boxes to network partners throughout the county to shorten the distance between people in need and food shelf resources. In an emergency, individuals-in-need can visit any of the partner locations and receive meal supplies through trusted community organizations.

The Mobile Food Shelf works with a limited number of senior living communities to deliver Food Shelf resources directly to clients' doorsteps. Clients complete a menu with support from a volunteer Enrollment Specialist. Groups of volunteers at the Wright County Food Shelf in Waverly will pack and deliver the orders.

With a focus on the aging population within Wright County, the Mobile Food Shelf is currently serving residents at the following locations:

• Delano Commons (Delano, MN)
• Maple Manor (Maple Lake, MN)
• Rosehaven Apartments (Montrose, MN)
