Our club is making difference by providing food for Minnesotans--specifically for the Joyce Uptown Food Shelf which largely services Uptown and South Minneapolis. Please! We would love for you to join us at OUR ANNUAL BEER STROLL on Thirstday, November 20th, 2025 at Tap Society (details below) and enjoy a beer or other beverage with our club to support the Shelf!
And if you just like the idea of helping, please scan the QR Code above to give as little or as much as you like to support the shelf. Or, if you're reading this on your phone or mobile device, you can click here to give!
The number of people The Joyce Uptown Food Shelf has served has increased 115% over the past three years. The amount of food distributed has increased 90%. At Joyce, over 1200 families are served each month with over 80,000 lbs of food. And now it's even more critical to help feed people when SNAP benefits are in limbo and people looking to the shelf for help.
Our goal is to raise $25,000 this year! So please, if you can, drop a dollar or twenty in the proverbial donation bucket!
- Joyce Uptown Food Shelf is open for distribution more hours than any other food shelf in the Twin cities.
- Food costs have dramatically increased and are expected to continue to go up.
- Every dollar makes a difference, please make a donation!
