Programs

Our mission at NACE: To provide food and clothing for people in need through the generosity of our community.

Food Shelf Distribution

NACE is a source of free healthy and nutritious food in our community. We often provide other critical resources such as clothing, our home delivery program, holiday meal packs, back to school supplies, and emergency programs as needed. We directly serve local residents who suffer from hunger and food insecurity.

We rely heavily on organizations and private citizens to provide a steady supply of monetary donations along with fresh produce, dairy products, meats and breads, and a wide range of canned goods.

Birthday Kit

We believe that every child is a blessing and deserves to feel special on their birthday.

We prepare a birthday kit for children ages 1-17 when their family visits the food shelf the month of their birthday.

Each Birthday Kit includes a cake mix, frosting, and candles for the child.

Home Delivery

Our Home Delivery Program provides groceries and builds positive relationships with homebound participants in Northern Anoka County.

There are many reasons an individual can find themselves homebound and unable to access groceries. Senior citizens or those with disabilities or perhaps a health reason. For these individuals, we are here to help. Volunteers will pack up groceries once a month and deliver them to their homes.
