GET FOOD
The Lakes Area Food Shelf is committed to making sure that no one has to go hungry. The food shelf is considered a “choice food shelf,” which means that it is set up like a grocery store, and you will choose your food, personal care items, and household goods from the selections available.
As a shopper, you agree to accept the food "as is". No sale of food is allowed.
Please remember to bring reusable bags or boxes for your groceries. We do not provide grocery bags or boxes.
