With support from our generous donors, Open Your Heart provided ACBC with funding for a new 2-door reach in freezer, increasing food items available to families in need. ACBC has been providing food and clothing to Anoka County residents over the last 50 years. Their market provides shoppers a safe, easy, and welcoming environment for selecting their own groceries and fresh foods. Quality, access, and experience are key factors in all their services. Other food programs they have include the Outreach Program: grocery deliver program to homebound individuals and seniors; Weekly Program: drop-in program for those experiencing homelessness, providing items best suited for their situation e.g. easy to eat/heat items, can openers, sleeping bags, blankets, clothing, shoes, bags, charcoal, and more; and Special Food Distributions: weekly produce distributions, summer food program, and delivery programs designed to increase food access points for families. There are many rewarding opportunities to partner with ACBC, especially volunteering in their market, delivery program, and clothing store. “The new freezer provided with OYH funds allows us to increase food choices for our families and we are beyond grateful for this much-needed resource!” – ACBC
