Caledonia, Kasson, Preston and Rushford, Minn., – all four of the Semcac food shelf locations are participating in the 2017 Open Your Heart to the Hungry and Homeless Summer Challenge, a donation drive sponsored by Open Your Heart to the Hungry and Homeless and Hunger Solutions, that takes place in July. As a member of Hunger Solutions Minnesota, Semcac is eligible to receive a percentage of grant funds designated for this challenge. The grant amount given to Semcac food shelves will depend upon the amount raised during the month of July. Therefore, more donations mean more grant money for the Semcac food shelves.
Semcac food shelves are located in Caledonia, Kasson, Preston and Rushford. In 2016, 1,343 households made 7,936 visits to Semcac food shelves, and received 377,841 pounds of food and goods. Donations and grant drives help make this possible.
To donate, make checks payable to Semcac. Note Open Your Heart on the memo line or on an enclosed letter. Also, please designate the location of the food shelf you are donating to by noting the city or county. Bring to a Semcac location or mail to Semcac, PO Box 549, Rushford, Minn. 55971.
