Open Your Heart funding will support Springfield Area Food Shelf in purchasing new equipment including two convertible refrigerators and freezers, shelving, and four shopping carts to meet the increased demand for food. Funding will also make the purchase of a standard food prep sink and mop bucket for improved food safety possible. The Springfield Area Food Shelf was formed in 2013 by women from the churches of Springfield, Minnesota, for the purposes of distributing food and providing emergency food services to people in need. Open Your Heart is a proud partner of their effort to provide healthy food, create a welcoming and dignified shopping experience, and making individual choice possible for food insecure clients.
