Food Access Hub

We serve St. Kate’s community members: students, staff, faculty, alumni and beyond.  Shoppers are welcome to use the food shelf, filling one bag of groceries for individuals and two bags for households, to serves their needs. We offer fresh fruits and vegetables, breads, and an assortment of other foods.

The food shelf is open on the first and third Wednesday of every month from 12–6 pm. and is located in the Carondelet Center Kitchen 101. No appointments needed!

If the food shelf’s open hours do not accommodate your availability, reach out to foodshelf@stkate.edu to arrange a pick-up time that works with your schedule. 

If you are interested in supporting the St. Kate’s food shelf, please donate here, choose the gift designation drop-down option “St. Kate’s/CSJ Food Access Hub.”

Your donation will go directly to the fight against food insecurity in the St. Kate’s community. Personal hygiene products and monetary contributions are especially appreciated. For every dollar donated we are able to purchase $4.00 of food and personal care items from local food banks.

The bee hives, pollinator pathways, and St. Kate’s community garden behind the CdC are all BioClub sustainability initiatives that we help support. We initiate and support waste-reduction, compost and recycling system upgrades and food recovery on both CSJ and St. Kate’s campuses. We coordinate and collaborate on environmental sustainability events such as Earth Day, MPLS/St. Paul Bee Run, and CSJ Service Days. Additionally, we work with the CSJ Justice Commission to implement our Congregational Laudato Si’ Action Plan and the St. Kate’s Sustainability Committee to develop and implement their Laudato Si’ Action Plan.
