March is Minnesota FoodShare Month: Donation Locations

Each year, the Minnesota FoodShare holds its March Campaign—the largest food drive in the state.

The drive recruits thousands of congregations, companies, schools and community groups to run local fund and food drives throughout the month of March. The efforts will restock almost 300 food shelves across Minnesota, including Shakopee's CAP Agency Food Shelf.

Register your organization to collect food for the March efforts.

CAP Agency Food Shelf takes donations throughout the year and some of the most wanted food and necessity items are: peanut butter, canned tuna fish, canned beans, Macaroni & Cheese, shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste and laundry detergent.

Items can be dropped off Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 712 Canterbury Rd. S.

A local blogger gives co-op drop-off locations throughout the metro area.

For more information on Minnesota FoodShare Month or for other local drop-off locations, go to mnfoodshare.gmcc.org or call 612-276-1530.
