ABOUT US

Our Mission

Centennial Community Food Shelf (CCFS) is a non-profit organization located in Circle Pines, Minnesota. Our mission is to provide food assistance to individuals and families in need, aiming to support our community and address food insecurity. We offer a variety of food options and resources, promoting healthy eating habits and ensuring access to nutritious meals for everyone. Clients are welcome to visit the food shelf up to twice each month; this helps to ensure we can serve as many neighbors as possible.  

 

In addition to our regular food distribution, we run a backpack program called Powerpack,

where bags of food are given to students in the Centennial schools on weekends and breaks.

 

We rely on both food and monetary donations from citizens and organizations in the surrounding areas. We purchase a significant portion of our food from Second Harvest Food Bank. Our commitment to welcoming and serving anyone facing food insecurity, regardless of where they live,

ensures that we provide support to all those in need.

 

We value inclusivity and our mission statement, In the spirit of love, provide nourishment to people, reflects our commitment to not only providing food, but also fostering a compassionate

and caring environment for our clients.
