March is Minnesota Foodshelf Month

Help local our local foodshelf, NACE Foodself and Clothing Closet, this month by making a donation to help those in need in our community.  NACE has served as a resource and stepping stone for those in need in our community since 1985. To ensure the Foodshelf and Clothing Closet will be here for our neighbors as long as there is a need, please continue to give generously!  Gifts to NACE are tax deductible.

Here are a few ways to help:

  • If you are hosting or attending a Super Bowl party on Sunday, February 7th, please consider matching the food and money you put towards your event to NACE.   If you pick up a bag of groceries for a party, pack another bag for the foodshelf, or spend $25.00 on snacks, send $25.00 to NACE.
  • March is MN Foodshare month. This is an excellent time to host a food/financial drive as we have several opportunities to receive matching donations.  Please encourage your church, community groups, and favorite businesses to participate!  
  • Planned gifts such as Wills, Trusts, Stocks, Life Insurance, and etc. can help secure the future of NACE.  Please consider discussing these options with your financial adviser.

The NACE Foodshelf and Clothing Closet met the 2009 holiday season with the shelves full thanks to your concern and generosity.  From someone stopping in just wanting to give a little something, to families giving food/financial gift to NACE in lieu of gift exchanges, to Civic and Faith communities fulfilling their missions, and businesses generously giving back to the community, food and dollars came in by the by the hundreds, sometimes the thousands. Once again we were able to give away an additional 25 pounds of holiday foods, including a turkey to each family served in November and December; a total of 361 families served 46,877 lbs of food.

Hours of distribution are:
 Monday 9:00AM – Noon
 Tuesday by appointment only from 6:00-8:00 PM
 Wednesday from 1-4:30 PM

NACE is located at 18511 HWY 65 NE Suite 200, East Bethel, MN 55011.
