The Kandiyohi County Food Shelf has been helping Kandiyohi County residents since 1982.  We are serving an average of 650 households (approximately 2300 individuals) a month with a food order and an additional 100 plus individuals daily for produce.  We distribute almost 80,000 pounds of food each month.

Most households live paycheck to paycheck and just one bad event such as getting laid off, a health issue or a death in the family and they are seeking our help. 

Mission Statement
Our mission is to help relieve the suffering from hunger by providing food assistance.
