It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Founder and former Executive Director, Helen Skutley.
Helen led with kindness and compassion, leaving a lasting impact on the Hanover Area Food Shelf and our community. She will be deeply missed.
To honor her legacy, we will continue to serve the community with the empathy and warmth that Helen inspired us all to do.
Please keep Helen’s loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.

Welcome to the Hanover Area Food Shelf!

Families who use the Food Shelf can come in ONCE a calendar month.   This visit is for a three meal per day, four day supply of food.

We also invite all clients to come on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays at the end of the day (after 1:30) to pick up additional produce and bakery in addition to normal visits.

The Hanover Area Food Shelf serves:

  • Hanover
  • St. Michael
  • Albertville
  • NW Loretto

After signing in, families then fill out a grocery list which in turn our volunteers “shop” from shelves and pack in boxes and bags. All items that are distributed must be weighed.

Thanks to many generous donors, not only do we have dry goods, but dairy items, bakery goods and meat.

We are also fortunate to provide personal items such as shampoo, toothpaste and laundry detergent.
