Anoka-Ramsey's Food Pantry is provided in partnership with HOPE for the Community. HOPE for the Community is supported by Second Harvest Heartland, a local nonprofit hunger-relief organization.

This institution is an equal-opportunity provider.

    • Dairy products
    • Produce
    • Meat
    • Non-perishable food items

    1. During your first visit in a semester we ask you to complete a brief first visit form with your name, student ID number, and household demographic info (number of people in your household who are 0-17 years old, 18-64 years old, and 65 years and older). This form gives us information on the demographics of who we serve. The information is confidential and is not shared beyond our nonprofit partner Hope for the Community.

    2. During each visit in a semester you will just provide your student ID number.

    3. We will provide you with grocery bags to use.

    4. When you're ready to checkout, a staff person will ask for the weight of your food (we have a scale to use).
