ANOKA COUNTY BROTHERHOOD COUNCIL INC

Anoka County Brotherhood Council Inc (operating as ACBC Food Shelf) is a long-established community food shelf and thrift program serving Anoka County since 1971. The organization provides a grocery-style food shelf market, a thrift store for clothing and household items, grocery delivery for homebound residents, and targeted programs such as a senior CSFP distribution, summer food for kids, youth birthday bags, and weekly assistance for people experiencing homelessness. ACBC focuses on reducing barriers to access by offering appointment-based food market shopping, food lockers, and supportive resource referrals that connect clients to housing, health, and employment services. In recent years ACBC has expanded its service delivery (including refrigerated outdoor food lockers and grocery delivery) and continued partnerships with local government and corporate donors to increase food security across the county. The organization is volunteer-driven and combines a staffed program team with a large volunteer base and community fundraising (events such as an annual gala) to sustain operations and local impact.
