About HANOVER AREA FOOD SHELF INC

Hanover Area Food Shelf Inc is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) community food shelf serving residents of Hanover, St. Michael, Albertville and northwest Loretto, Minnesota. The organization operates a regular weekly distribution schedule and provides groceries as well as fresh dairy, bakery, meat and personal-care items. Founded in 1980 and operating from a dedicated space within St. Paul’s Lutheran Church since 2001, the food shelf runs an approximately 800 sq. ft. facility with cooler and freezers and supports complementary programs including a clothing closet and an annual "Caring for Kids" toy drive. The operation depends on a large volunteer base (40+ volunteers weekly) and ongoing partnerships with local businesses for food drives and donation drop boxes. Before preparing this profile the organization’s EIN (20-1952371) and active status were confirmed across its official web presence and public nonprofit directories, and the food shelf’s site shows recent updates and current operating information.
