Drive Dates: March 1 – April 6, 2026
St. Stephen’s Church is proud to once again support VEAP through the annual Minnesota FoodShare Campaign—the largest grassroots food and fund drive in the state.
VEAP continues to see unprecedented demand at its food pantry due to ongoing inflation and rising food costs. Many essential items are difficult for them to source in bulk, which makes community support more important than ever.
Whether you give food or funds, every gift makes a meaningful difference.
🥫 DONATE FOOD
You can support the drive in several easy ways:
Shop Our Wish List
Short on time? Purchase items directly from our Amazon Wish List. Your selections will be shipped to the church, and we’ll include them in our delivery to VEAP.
Shop Locally
Review VEAP’s Most Needed Items List, then pick up items during your regular grocery run. Donations can be placed in the marked baskets at the Narthex or Office Wing entrances.
