NACE Food Shelf

NACE Food Shelf

Overview

North Anoka County Emergency (NACE) is a local food shelf that distributes food to people in need. St. Patrick’s helps raise food and money for NACE from food drives and a fundraiser called “Empty Bowls”.

Food Drive

Thank you for everyone’s prayers and immense generosity in this year’s annual food drive! Our goal this year was to raise a little more than last year: 900lbs of food and $3,500 dollars.

This year, you all raised 1,009lbs of food and $4,349 dollars! You all went above and beyond the call and it will help take care of many people and families in our area.
