Host A Food Drive

Thank you for considering hosting a food drive for your business or organization. Ongoing scheduled food drives are in March, through area churches, and in May, through the local Post Office. Our shelves need filling especially in Summer and early Fall when we see an increase in household visits.

Call 651-388-9302 or email in advance of organizing your food drive and we will let you know what items are needed at that time. We will arrange our volunteers to receive your donations after your drive ends.

You can also make checks out to “Red Wing Area Food Shelf” and either mail or drop off during open hours. 

With every $1 you donate, we are able to buy about $3 worth of food at the Channel One Food Bank in Rochester, Minnesota. We also purchase food items from local retailers. We have over 170 volunteers and 2 part-time staff members. In 2025, we served 10,003 families and distributed 448,690 pounds of food.
