Description:
The Emergency Food Shelf was organized in 1979 by the Duluth Food and Nutrition Council as a means to distribute food to families affected by the serious economic recession of the late 1970s. The Shelf became the responsibility of CHUM in 1981 and expanded to a second site in West Duluth in 1982 and a third site in Lakeside in 2012. The Food Shelf operates with the philosophy that people in need of food should have access to this most fundamental of human needs. We strive to respond to the need for food in a manner that is compassionate and promotes respect for the individual, regardless of age, race, gender, creed, disability, or lifestyle. The food shelf provides a five-day food order for people without food or the resources to buy food and advocacy services connecting people to community resources (e.g. shelter, medical care, children's services, employment, clothing, and emergency monies). Staff, along with approximately 100 volunteers, distribute 260,000 pounds of food annually. An average of 570 households receive emergency food each month; roughly 37% of those fed are children. CHUM Emergency Food Shelf - Downtown: OPEN HOURS: Wednesday & Friday 10 a.m. - 1:45 p.m., Wednesday 3:30 - 6:30 p.m. for working households
