About Us

We would like to thank all the individuals, organizations, and businesses who have given food, monetary gifts, or volunteered to help. You are the reason we are able to continue to help feed the needy.

Just as Jesus comes to us in our need, regardless of our worthiness; and just as Jesus shows us mercy in the middle of the sinfulness of the world — we seek to proclaim that same good news to people who are caught up in a system or hardship that makes even putting food on the table a challenge.

It is the mission of this ministry to proclaim the mercy and justice of Jesus, through helping the hungry in Kingsbury County.

If you have any questions about the Kingsbury County Food Pantry, please contact us. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

• Then it moved to the basement of the DeSmet American Lutheran Church and changed hands from ICAP (a govt program) to the ministerial association.
• In 2011 Robyn became the Coordinator
• In early 2014 it was moved to a handicap location (for the first time) 115 Calumet Ave.
• In May of 2017 we moved to our current location at 221 Calumet Ave SW.
