Maple Plain Area Food Shelf
Maple Plain Community Church operates the local food shelf for Maple Plain, Independence. As an agent of Second Harvest Heartland Food Bank we supply a standard assortment of food to anyone from our assigned area that qualifies for assistance according to The Emergency Food Assistance Program. The primary requirement is proof of residence. The food shelf summer hours were such a hit that we decided to make them permanent. They are: Mondays from 12:00pm to 2:00p.m. or Tuesday evenings from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. We are also open the first Friday of each month from 12:00pm to 2:00pm.
Donations to the food shelf are appreciated at any time. The most needed supplies are paper products, cleaning supplies, laundry or dish detergent and personal hygiene products such as soap and shampoo. These items are not usually donated from food campaigns and are difficult to obtain at a discounted rate. In addition to the canned foods that are donated we purchase meats, eggs, breads and other staples to provide a well balanced diet. Thank you for supporting us through the years, your help is paramount in our success in reaching out to those in need!
