Valley Outreach is here to help.
Get help at Valley Outreach through expanded service hours through December 2025.
On Nov. 1, thousands of Minnesotans are experiencing a sudden disruption to their SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) food benefits and other programs due to the federal government shutdown. While the government reopens, these disruptions won’t resolve overnight; that is why we will continue our Temporary SNAP & Shutdown response through December.

Please come to Valley Outreach during service hours or during temporary SNAP response hours. Learn more on our Food Shelf page.

Want to help?
We are no longer collecting Food-to-Go Bags at this time. We have enough to distribute through the end of the year. Thank you for the generous community support during the disruption to SNAP benefits!
