Minnehaha Food Shelf: The food shelf is looking for committed volunteers to help make sure families in our community undergoing food insecurity are served each Tuesday. "There's been a steady downtick in help as some people have gone back to work and aren't available, or have other obligations – and at the same time, the need has continued to increase during the pandemic," said Cherie Wold, LNL member and food shelf board member.
