Open Cupboard programs are designed to increase access to fresh, healthy food and basic necessities, and to provide those services in a positive, supportive way that reduces stigma and increases access to food.
Our programs include:
Our programs include:
Today’s Harvest
Our Today's Harvest market is open 6 days a week (10:30am-6pm on weekdays and 10:30-2:30 on Saturdays) and offers fresh produce, proteins, dairy and deli items in a highly accessible, welcoming format.
Mobile Food Shelf
Through our Mobile Food Shelf program, we support targeted communities that lack access to food. We distribute food, personal hygiene items and household products to seven senior living facilities and two mobile home communities.
Drive-Up Food Shelf
Our traditional food shelf program is provided through a drive-up service and distributes fresh produce, meat, dairy items, and other essentials like diapers, feminine hygiene items, household and personal care items, and more. This program is open to anyone, regardless of address, and also provides culturally relevant and special diet choices.
Food Deliveries
We provide approximately 150 food deliveries per week through our partnership with Door Dash and in collaboration with Valley Outreach and White Bear Food Shelf. These deliveries are provided to anyone in Ramsey or Washington counties who lack transportation to get to our programs or have health conditions that make it difficult to leave their home.
All of the programs listed above serve our community in a distinct way, providing different access points for people to receive fresh and healthy food, and other basic needs, in the way that works best for them. Open Cupboard’s programs provide fresh and healthy food to over 4,000 households per week.
