Description

Westonka Food Shelf will host an online silent auction fundraiser on March 12-20, 2022. Funds raised by our silent auction will go towards purchasing food for community members in need. 

In 2021, Westonka Food Shelf served nearly 2,000 families, representing over 5,000 individuals, by distributing 863,167 pounds of food.  Since the beginning of the pandemic, the number of neighbors seeking food support has increased by 265%!  We anticipate this heightened need to continue because our patrons’ income levels fall at or below 300% of the federal income poverty guidelines and inflationary pressures are stretching their already limited budgets.  As you can see there is a growing need for food support. We are a donation and volunteer-based organization.
