On November 1, many county residents will lose their SNAP benefits at least until the government shutdown ends. The Stevens County Food Shelf is in need of shelf stable foods, personal care products, and cash or checks made out to Stevens County Food Shelf. If you live in the Morris city limits, please have a box, bag, and/or envelope ready when UMN Morris students come knocking on your door between 5-9 p.m. on Halloween night. If we don't make it to your home by 9 p.m., please email [email protected], and we will pick up your donation the following week. Thank you in advance for your support! (The photo is a flashback to a previous Trick or Can event!)

Reminder: Trick or Can has been happening in Morris on Halloween night since the 1990s, but this year, your donations are more critical than ever before. The day after Halloween, SNAP recipients lose their food support, and the Stevens County Food Shelf is working hard to meet the increased need. Please leave a box, bag, or envelope with cash or a check at your door if you won't be home, and label it Trick or Can. If you will be home passing out candy, please thank the students who are out door knocking on Halloween! (This photo is a flashback to a Trick or Can event a few years back)!

On Thursday October 2nd, UMN Morris will host its annual farmer’s market from 3-6pm on the university mall (open grass next to the student center). If weather doesn’t permit an outdoor market, we will instead be located in Oyate hall in the Student Center. Vendors will be selling fresh produce, baked goods, and crafts, and the UMN Master Gardeners will be giving out free houseplants while supplies last!
