HOW OUR FOOD SHELF WORKS With our mission statement being “Neighbors helping neighbors bridge the hunger gap in Koochiching County one step at a time in a positive and respectful environment”, Falls Hunger Coalition’s Food Shelf is here to serve individuals and families without food or resources to buy food. We offer a five to seven day supply of essential food items to each household member. Clients complete an application for service to assist in determining their eligibility and may be required to show proof of residency at any time. We take pride in offering a confidential and comfortable environment for clients to shop, as if they were in a grocery store. In providing services to the hungry, our slogan from inception has always been and continues to be: “We will always choose to err on the side of compassion.”
