After supporting our neighbors through a drive-up food distribution for over a year, we had a problem: it was hard to get to know people just through their vehicle windows. We truly want to know how to help people beyond their immediate needs. Haven Community Food Pantry was born.
Haven allows space for conversation, connection and relationship-building. Haven Pantry is officially open in the Sanctuary Resource Center at 710 West Broadway Ave., in North Minneapolis.
Pantry hours vary and are updated here.
