The Westonka Food Shelf is a community sponsored, volunteer-based organization that has been feeding our neighbors in need since 1969. In 2022 we served nearly 2,000 families, representing over 5,000 individuals and distributed over one million pounds of food. The number of neighbors seeking food support has increased by 265% over the past 3 years. 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 limited budgets.
The mission of The Westonka Food Shelf is to reduce hunger in our local community by respectfully providing nutritionally balanced food options to those in need. Thanks to our community's generosity, a mission that started with helping just a few families has grown to provide healthy options for many needing assistance in Mound, Minnetrista, Navarre, Minnetonka Beach, Spring Park, St. Bonifacius, Tonka Bay, Independence and parts of Orono today.
