Open Your Heart funding will provide sturdy gondola shelving units for Hastings Family Service’s Market Food Shelf. The new shelving will improve efficiency and safety for volunteers as well as increase choice for neighbors while shopping. Hastings Family Service’s Market Food Shelf is a place for neighbors’ experiencing food insecurity to turn to in Hastings and Dakota County. In addition to the high cost of food and limited low-income housing options, Hastings neighbors are also responding to increased utility costs as the result of PFAS in the water and the need for new water treatment plants. Whatever the challenge, the goal of Hastings Family Services remains the same: ensuring the basic needs of neighbors are being met. Open Your Heart is a proud partner of Hastings Family Service.
