FREE Community Food Distribution - Fridays in Burnsville! 🥕

📍 501 E Highway 13, Suite 112, Burnsville, MN 55337

360 Communities is giving away variety boxes of rescue food at our Burnsville Food Shelf on Friday mornings. We will start at 10:30 AM and continue until we run out.

Please drive around to the back of the building and wait in your car. A volunteer will bring your requested boxes to your vehicle.

Our Friday Community Food Distribution is made possible by volunteers who sort and pack quality food donated by local grocery stores and businesses each week. Boxes may include fresh produce, bakery items, dairy, snacks, and other grocery products. Selection varies each week and is available while supplies last.

Because these items are rescued from local grocery stores, some products may be at or beyond their "best by" date. Our volunteers carefully inspect every item, and we only distribute food that we would feel comfortable serving to our own families.

All are welcome. ❤️ No pre-registration is required.

360 Communities' Burnsville Resource Center is open 9 am - 4 pm Monday through Thursday. To contact us or set up a food shelf appointment, please call (952) 985-5300.

Going to the Dakota County Fair?
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19AZqehXx7/

Hey Friends! It takes a village!

Pack your grocery bags (empty ones-flat folded) and bring them to the Dakota County Fair to contribute to a community effort to support local food shelves.

The Dakota County Fair, running from August 10 through August 16, is a unique opportunity to help fill a critical need in the fight against hunger in your community.

360 Communities and the Dakota Agricultural Society need your help to collect brown paper bags for Dakota County food shelves. 360 Communities has the most extensive food shelf network in Dakota County, with sites in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Farmington, Lakeville, and Rosemount.

The network uses about 10,000 paper bags annually and often runs short. Your donations will make a difference for food shelf shoppers.

Donating your bags is easy! You can drop them off in the bright yellow tubs stationed at the admission gates and the main Fair office at Ahlberg Hall at the Dakota County Fairgrounds in Farmington, MN, at 4008 220th Street W. Farmington

Thank you! For more information about 360 Communities and its network of food shelves, visit 360Communities.org.
